Video Sunday: Coke Tongue (It’s More Innocent Than it Sounds) and Adorable Teens

June 15, 2008 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

Author Vicki Cobb first came to my attention when she won the Siebert Honor for her fabulous scientifically-minded picture book I Face the Wind.  Little did I know that she also has quite a few videos on her website in which kids use science to do cool and gross things.  I recommend you check out this site and look at the videos.

Here’s A Tongue Lashing

And here’s A Nose Job

Fun projects you can do with kids and all they need are spoons and coke…. wait.  That didn’t sound quite right  . . .

Not long ago I spoke to a class of YA authors and the subject of book trailers came up.  I mentioned that First Second probably does the most cinematic trailers out there.  Now there’s a new one for the graphic novel (slash movie tie-in?) Prince of Persia, based on the video game.  I wasn’t going to get a copy. . . then I saw that LeUyen Pham is doing the art.  I do love me some Pham.  Here’s the trailer in question.

This one came from Mishaps and Adventures and I like it. It’s talking about book jackets in a series called The Art of the Book: Behind the Covers with Dave Eggers, Chip Kidd, Milton Glaser and moderator Michael Bierut at the 92nd Street Y in New York, December 4, 2006.


Doggone BookVideos.tv.  Not letting me embed this Gordon Korman video where he talks about his newest book Swindle.  Grr.  Thanks to bookshelves of doom for the link anyway.

Now I will end here on this adorable teenage girl.  She gets a gander at the newest Twilight book jacket (Breaking Dawn).  It occurs to me that it is a bloody lucky thing that the current incarnation of the Internet wasn’t around when I was this girl’s age because if I had to walk around today with YouTube videos of me talking about how much I loved The Phantom of the Opera floating about the web . . . it boggles the mind.  But she is adorable!

Thanks to ShelfTalker for the link.
