Fusenews – Warning: May use eigenface decomposition methods to calculate facial similarities
All right! Been a couple months since I did one of these and they’ve been burning a hole in my draft folder. My laptop is at 25% and I can’t find the cord to plug it in so let’s make these short and oh-so sweet! In the good news department, Idris Elba is going […]
Video Sunday: Butterfly in the sky / I can go twice as high (thanks in large part to physics)…
Happy news, neighborinos! Today I bring unto you a video from BookFest, a yearly celebration of children’s literature hosted (these days) by Bank Street College of Education. Kidlit TV recorded almost the entire thing live and then put it on air. This year I had the honor of moderating a panel discussion with funny folks […]
New Fuse 8 n’ Kate Episode: Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
Though I acknowledge the danger of running through the most popular picture books too early in my little podcast’s lifespan, for whatever reason I couldn’t resist going for the gold (so to speak). This one’s quite a bit of fun. Kate manages to drive me crazy within the first 30 seconds by calling Harry Potter […]

Fusenews: “Someday I’ll go to Winnipeg to win a peg-leg pig”
When two people sent me this link I assumed that everyone must have already seen it. But when it didn’t show up on PW Children’s Bookshelf I decided that perhaps I might have a scoop. At the very least, it appears that when people think Nick Cave meets Dr. Seuss, I’m the logical person to […]
Fusenews: Don’t Let the Pigeon Shoot First
Hi-ho, folks. As the Newbery draws nigh thoughts of winners and legitimacy surface. Consider the case of Cece Bell’s El Deafo, a graphic novel that is also a great joy. Does it have a chance? Monica Edinger at educating alice makes a strong case in its favor. Another debate was held over at Heavy Medal […]
Fusenews: Hear the beat, of literary feet.
Hi ho. Time to round-up what Jules and I have been up to over at our Wild Things blog (book promotion for bloggers means more blogging, you see). Here’s the long and short of what you may have missed: Wacked out 1970s picture books. Maurice Sendak’s actual first book (and it’s not what you think). […]

Video Sunday: Mind you, it DOES make me want to read The Olde Tobacco Shoppe . . .
Gather round me, little children, and let me tell you of a magical time when the Newbery and Caldecott winners were interviewed on NBC the day after their win in a regular annual segment. Then twas the coming of Snookie and suddenly children’s book awards weren’t considered newsworthy any longer. I’ve searched the airwaves to […]

Fusenews: “Compare and contrast Goodnight Moon with The Sun Also Rises”
Lotso hotso news today, folks. I hardly know where to begin. Let’s start with the big news that the illustrious editor Margaret K. McElderry passed away recently. I had mentioned The McElderry Book of Greek Myths in my Valentine’s Day post earlier this week. Maybe she was on my mind. In any case, there’s a […]
Fusenews: “Does the Quiet Old Lady evolve as a character or does she remain static?”
This Wednesday will see the final announcements of The National Book Award winners for one and all to see. Unlike the Newbery, Caldecott, or ALA Media Awards of any stripe, judges on the National Book Award committee are uniquely tight-lipped. They can’t even really give their own opinions of the books looked at (though you […]
