Video Sunday: *knock knock* Land shark
Good morning, my fine and frisky young denizens of this sphere upon which we make our homes. I’m particularly chipper today as I’ve just returned from a lovely trip to Boston where I attended the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards and managed NOT to lose my glasses in the process. More on that tomorrow, but today […]
Video Sunday: 90-Second Newbery Edition
About a week ago the 90-Second Newbery premiered at New York Public Library (PW did a nice write-up of it here) and the afternoon was a stellar success. My Lit Salon went over so I didn’t have a chance to see much of it, but fortunately James Kennedy, who created the darn thing, did me […]
Video Sunday: La la la!
Morning, folks. We’ve a good store of goodies this morning, and I’m pleased as punch to give them to you. First up, a short film. A very short film, actually. I’ve spoken in the past on how Hollywood views children’s writers and the creation of children’s books. This film seems to believe that children’s books […]

Video Sunday: Dancing in the Stacks

But thing is, these folks are pretty extraordinary. […]
Fusenews: Aw, pfui
It is WAY too late in the day for me to be only starting a Fusenews post now. All right, guys. Looks like we’re gonna have to do today double quick time. Sorry, but I’ve a ticking time bomb in the other room (sometimes also known as “my daughter”) and I gotsta gets to bed […]
Video Sunday: Dragons and Dragon Teeth
We begin this week with something extraordinary. A book trailer that looks like a movie trailer (no real surprises there) but that includes so many specific details to its book that you’re half inclined to think that the movie version already exists. Super 8‘s actor Joel Courtney stars in trailer for The Dragon’s Tooth by […]

Video Sunday: Spook-Offs and More
I hope you will excuse the lateness of today’s post. I was watching Men in Black last night. As excuses go, I’m sure you’ve heard worse. 100 Scope Notes found what has to be my favorite video of the week, bar none. George Kareman reminds me of nothing so much as a slightly less weird […]
Video Sunday: Too bad his duck is so crazy
You know what? Skip everything I’ve ever suggested about visiting the Bologna Book Fair. Airflights take a lot of time. Your sleeping schedule gets off. And then there’s all that walking. Phew! It’s enough to exhaust you just thinking about it. No no, far better to just watch this little video created by Bart Moeyaert. […]
