Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Little Red Riding Hood by Jerry Pinkney

Peak Pinkney! After his recent death, I wanted to do a book with Kate that paid homage to Jerry Pinkney. What better than a look at his longstanding love of fairy tales?

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: Mirandy and Brother Wind by Patricia McKissack and Jerry Pinkney

“I’m giving myself extra points for doing this springy book in spring . . . which I did not realize until this moment. Patting on the backy of me!” Prior to today’s episode the only Jerry Pinkney title we’d done on our podcast was Sam and the Tigers (as part of our Little Black Sambo […]

Fuse 8 n’ Kate: The Story of Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman

Not content to examine just Curious George and The Story of Babar, Kate and I round out our look at colonial children’s literature with a rather more serious examination of Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo. That said, we are not content to consider a single version. That’s why our primary focus will be the Christopher […]

June 1, 2012 by Betsy Bird

#37 The Lion and the Mouse by Jerry Pinkney (2009) 47 points I love David Wiesner, but as funny as his wordless books are, none of them match this one for the combined power of the storytelling and sheer beauty of the drawings. One of the most deserving Caldecott winners ever. – Mark Flowers I […]

Librarian Preview: Little Brown and Company (Fall 2011 – Winter 2012)

April 23, 2011 by Betsy Bird

Previews, previews!  Lovely little previews! And we find ourselves back at the Yale Club, across the street from Grand Central Station, and a whopping 10 minutes away, on foot, from my library.  There are advantages to living on a tiny island, I tell ya. As per usual, Little Brown pulled out all the stops for […]

Fusenews: Encyclopedia Peck

October 18, 2010 by Betsy Bird

As far as I’m concerned, every good blog post should begin with fiction starring Gregory Peck.  What we have here is one of the luscious finds boasted by Greg Hatcher over at the site Comic Book Resources.  I’m a big fan of Hatcher because when he does round ups like this one he always takes […]
