Fusenews: Sit On a Tea Party a Spell

August 29, 2017 by Betsy Bird

Haven’t done one of these in a while. To be fair, there’s been so much crazy news out there that it’s almost too intimidating to do something as light and fluffy as this. Best if I stick with the news that matters. And, occasionally, the stuff I don’t remember seeing already on PW Children’s Bookshelf. […]

Fusenews: In and out of the loop I go

October 13, 2015 by Betsy Bird

I mention to folks that in my new job I actually don’t work day-to-day with children’s books all that often anymore and they wonder how I’m coping.  As it happens, I’m just ducky.  Since my spare hours are just as chock full of kidlit as before, I honestly don’t feel like I’m missing too much.  […]

Top 100 Picture Books #69: Moo Baa La La La by Sandra Boynton

Board Books 2012: What Works. What Doesn’t.

April 23, 2012 by Betsy Bird

I’ve become a bit of a board book connoisseur in my old age.  While my cohorts are reading speculative YA fiction and high end narrative nonfiction I’ve been getting up close and personal with books that have pages that can double as coasters.  Aside from realizing just how difficult the darn things are to write […]

Video Sunday: We skip the light fandango

December 5, 2010 by Betsy Bird

Loathe though I am to begin my day with anything spawned from the soul of Fox, this look at the world of Sandra Boynton is worth watching.  I like that they shot much of it at the children’s bookstore Books of Wonder (which, if I am not incorrect, still has the Boynton show up and […]
