    Fusenews: On the bocce ball court with a banjo

    Betsy Bird, December 26, 2014 | Fusenews

    In the realm of “How crazy is this?” I have a whopper of a weirdo story.  As you may or may not know, for many years I worked with the delightful Winnie-the-Pooh toys in the Children’s Center at 42nd Street.  Because the toys originally hailed from Britain I become well and truly familiar with folks […]

    Betsy Bird, October 28, 2014 | Fusenews

    A stumper to begin the day. I got this message from my aunt and I simply do not know the answer. Librarians of the world, do you know? Just to clarify beforehand, the answer is unfortunately not Are Your My Mother? by P.D. Eastman: “… seeking info on a children’s book that was [a] favorite […]

    Fusenews: Properly vicious

    Betsy Bird, September 26, 2014 | Fusenews

    There comes a time when I have so much news for a Fusenews that it paralyzes me and rather than write one up I just let my files accrue more and more schtoof until the vicious circle ends with a massive deletion.  Today some of this stuff will strike you as a bit out of […]

    Betsy Bird, August 6, 2014 | Fusenews

    As per usual there are some Wild Things links I’d love to share today.  Lemme see here . . . Well we got a real stunner of a review over at Chapter 16.  That’s some good and gorgeous stuff going down there. Phil Nel called us “Punchy, lively, and carefully researched.”   The blog The […]

    Fusenews: Because nothing says “birthday” like Barbarsol

    Betsy Bird, July 11, 2014 | Fusenews

    First and foremost, hello.  How are you?  Are you having a nice day?  So nice to see you here, but before we go any further I must tell you that you very much need to leave me.  Just for a little while.  As you may have heard, my book with Jules Danielson and Peter Sieruta, […]

    Fusenews: Nailed It!

    Betsy Bird, December 10, 2013 | Fusenews

    Don’t you hate it when you’ve saved oodles of links for a Fusenews only to find your computer apparently ate them without informing you?  Fun times.  So if I promised some of you that I’d post something and then I didn’t, remind me of the fact.  Clearly me brain is running on fumes. Stop.  Before […]

    Betsy Bird, October 14, 2013 | Fusenews

    Fusenews: “Who is Fishface, and where can I find him?”

    Betsy Bird, August 8, 2013 | Fusenews

    Required Reading of the Day: Roger Sutton already told you to read it, and now I’m backing him up.  If you have not cast thine eyes upon Christopher Myers’s piece Young Dreamers in which he talks about the Trayvon Martin decision as well as Christopher’s own role in the world of children’s literature and the […]
