Video Sunday: “Butters. Plural.”
I just love the Evanston Public Library crew. Our librarians are uniquely talented souls. For example, each year they produce a new stop animation summer reading video. This year they got a bit ambitious and upped their game to a stop animation Rube Goldberg summer reading video. In other news, I thought this next video […]
Book Trailer Premiere: Martina and Chrissie by Phil Bildner, ill. Brett Helquist
When I was a kid I didn’t know much about sports. I knew that the Tigers had won the World Series in ’84. I knew that there was a football player called “Refrigerator” and that sometimes football players took ballet classes (Mr. Rogers taught me that one). And I knew who Martina Navratilova and Chris […]
Video Sunday: At the speed of light, she arrives just in time . . .
Some weeks can go by without a single solitary interesting video in sight. Other weeks, you drown in brilliance. This week inclines far more towards the latter than the former. I could not lead off today with anything other than the latest bit of Bookie Woogie brilliance. You keened to their 90-second rendition of Where […]

Video Sunday: Ninjas, Snow Queens, and Faux Flash Mobs

The exciting news this week was that I got to host a couple panels regarding Banned Books (it being the week of ’em and all). The first was at the Brooklyn Book Festival with David Levithan, Francesca Lia Block, and Lauren Myracle. I then cannibalized my own questions and used them in this, a Google+ […]

Special Book Trailer Reveal: Sky Jumpers by Peggy Eddleman
Ah, trailer premiers! They only come along once in a while but they’re often quite nice to see. Today we have the privilege of hosting the world premier of of the book trailer for Peggy Eddleman’s Sky Jumpers. I’m partial to this one, possibly because it feels like Land of the Lost to me, what […]
Video Sunday: If I could chose my own cool library name I’d go with “In Transit”
A conservative estimate would say that around seven people sent me this particular video this week. A hat tip to every last person who set out to alert then. I wasn’t necessarily going to make a Video Sunday this week, but after watching this I just couldn’t pass this up. The editing, man, the editing!! […]
