Unexpected Jolts of Children’s Literature
Periodically I will notice, note, and eventually post about books for adults that have some tangential (or even overt) relationship to children's literature. Today's the day!
Unexpected Jolts of Children’s Literature
To tide you over, and fill your days with visions of sweet books, it's time for another edition of Unexpected Jolts of Children's Literature! The adult world is keen, but it's also filled with books that have something to do with literature for kids. Here then is the latest crop of books with a very specific bent.
Surprising Jolts of Children’s Literature
It’s that time again! Time to take a gander at what’s happening in the world of books for grown-up types.

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 […]
Video Sunday: She once created a pathfinder . . . to a woman’s heart
The mark of a good parody is when you don’t need to have seen the original. A billion thanks to 100 Scope Notes for this one. Never would have found it myself. Well, it’s a beautiful Sunday morning here in New York City. Daylight savings just granted me an extra hour to sleep and the […]
