Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Annie Was Warned by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
It's a Halloween book. It's a birthday book. It's an EARLY Jarrett Krosoczka title, and we finally get to to it today on latest podcast.
Fusenews: Knowing your funny from your droll
With Comic Con NYC later this week, publisher previews on the rise, and various work-related meetings, talks, and speeches I’m just the teeniest tiniest bit busy this week. But no matter! It is you, dear readers, that give me what for and how to. For you I would forgo all the sleep in the world. […]
Video Sunday: Ice ice, baby
If you’re anything like me you probably found this video of the YOU WON calls given by the Caldecott, Newbery and Coretta Scott King committees to be a heckuva lot of fun. I could watch people getting good news all day, I could. Particularly when it’s people I like. Tongue . . . tongue stuck […]

Fusenews: Nailed It!
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 […]
Video Sunday: She’s not your wife. She’s the princess.
Can you think of a better way to kick off? Not I, said the fly. Yes, the world’s most confused woman (not me) is celebrating her 50th birthday. I am pleased to report that Harper Collins is allowing me to reveal this video today. The strange thing about Amelia B is that she seems to […]
Video Sunday: The Happy Mother’s Day Edition (Warning: Contains no mom-related material)
Happy Mother’s Day! It was Monica Edinger who alerted me to the fact that fresh on the heels of the Matilda musical is an upcoming British production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. She has the details and directed me to this truly unfair let’s-not-give-anything-away teaser trailer. This introduction is a bit better. You know […]

Sneaky Peek: A Glimpse of Platypuses Packing Heat/Boomerangs
There are certain words and phrases that are instantly hilarious. Kalamazoo is one of them. Platypus is another. All the more reason to combine the two. That’s my logic. When I heard that Jarrett Krosoczka (he of the Lunch Lady GN series as well as a stunner of a TED talk, amongst other accomplishments), had […]
Fusenews: Dark fiddlers and ponymen
Looks like the National Book Awards are taking a page out of the Oscars’ handbook. Which is to say, if people like nominees for awards so much, why not give them MORE nominees? Says PW, “In an effort to broaden the reach and impact of the National Book Awards, the National Book Foundation will select […]
Video Sunday: Always comes too late, but Friday never hesitates
The chance to see M.T. Anderson speak at length on any topic should be celebrated in and of itself. But to see him speak on the topic Wardrobes and Rabbit Holes: A Dark History of Children’s Literature (just this past November 7th) is the icing on the cake. As you may remember I’ve a book […]
Video Sunday: That cake’s my most bestest creation
Who says you need to be Ed Emerley to make fingerprints dance? A canny bit of book promotion, this title is out this year but I certainly hadn’t heard of it until now (Laurence King Publishers, anyone?). Now I’ll need to see it for myself. It’s Let’s Make Some Great Fingerprint Art by Marion Deuchars. […]
