Video Sunday – Amateur Night Edition

Author Esme Codell is our guiding angel this particular Video Sunday. If you take a gander at her blog Planet Esme you can find two videos of great interest. Ms. Codell is, as we say in the business, chock full of good old-fashioned talent. She has an appreciation for Folkmanis puppets (they’ve a fairly amusing commercial for their products here) that I myself share.

He’s cute. So cute, in fact, that I will forgive him for messing up Mr. Scieszka’s name (it rhymes with fresca). Maybe Canadians pronounce it differently.

Good stuff. Aside from that, I got nothing. Till next week, poppins!
