Fuse 8 n’ Kate: The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night by Peter Spier
I run a blog for my job at Evanston Public Library on the side. The way I tend to distinguish it from this site is that the blog is mostly concerned with adult titles and other library-related affairs. Well, recently I reprinted my favorite Ogden Nash poem of all time Don’t Cry, Darling. It’s Blood […]
Newbery / Caldecott 2015: Final Prediction Edition
And thus, we end. Though, with such a late ALA Media Awards announcement this year (Monday, February 2nd!) my predictions are coming a bit early in the game. Still, it’s not as though I’ll be seeing much that’s new between now and 2/2. I have watched with great interest the discussions on Heavy Medal and […]
Newbery / Caldecott 2015: Fall Prediction Edition
Now we’re in the thick of it. Do you hear that? That is the clicking ticking sound of the reanimation of the Heavy Medal and Calling Caldecott blogs. They’re a little groggy right now, trying to get their bearings, figuring out which foot to try first. But don’t be fooled by their initial speed. Very […]

Fusenews: Post-Sandy Edition
As I write this I don’t know what the election results are and I shall refuse to think about them all the livelong day. Lalalalalala! No images today, by the way. I apparently hit my limit and need to beg SLJ for a little more space. I’m good for it! Honest! So there’s lots of […]
Newbery / Caldecott / Etc. 2012: Post Awards Edition
Since it’s apparently football season (or at least that’s what the trending topics on Twitter seem to imply) think of this as a kind of post-game recap of what went on yesterday in the land of ALA Media Awards. Each year I like to look at what I got right, what I got wrong, what […]
A Fuse #8 Prediction: Newbery / Caldecott 2012
When you consider the fact that whole hoards of librarians will be traipsing Texas-ward this week so as to attend the Midwinter American Library Association Conference, this post is pretty much coming in at the last possible moment. Even as we speak committee members are girding their loins (or whatever it is committee members gird) […]

Always a Bridesmaid: The Newbery/Caldecott Honor Winning Crowd
It’s almost time for me to start thinking about my mid-year Newbery/Caldecott prediction list (also known as The Arbitrary Arbitrariness of the Arbitrariums). In doing so my mind has been inclined to think back over the years to past winners. In discussion with a friend the other day, the conversation turned to Jerry Pinkney. Specifically, […]
Newbery/Caldecott 2011 or Well, How Awesome Was THAT?
Didn’t I TELL you it was a Wild Card Year? And the truth? I adore Wild Card Years. They’re my favorites, and not just because my Newbery year’s committee picked The Higher Power of Lucky either. The whole reason I like the ALA Media Awards is because right until the last minute anybody can win […]
