Children's literature is not for the weak. It is a ruthless cutthroat business with lots of gnashes of the teeth. Children's librarianship, in contrast, is a sweet sweet ride. Now you can hear me as I growl, gargle, and kvetch my way through news, reviews, and interviews. Kidlit podcasting = scary new world.

Appropos When You Consider That McCartney Did It First
An apology to everyone at Child_Lit who knew this already. I'm a bit behind in my digest reading. Apparently there's a new celebrity kid on the authorial block. The kicker? It's a Monkee writing about monkeys. *shudder* If this trend continues what else can we expect? My money would be on Counting Crows, but they already anticipated me with a crow-counting segment of Sesame Street. Maybe someone from Blind Melon will write one instead. I would buy that book.
Sadness--that Blind Melon fellow is dead, following the 27-years-old (ok, 28 by a month) is too much trend of rockers everywhere. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_Hoon
ReplyDeleteYeah, I knew about the dead Melon. But there were other fellows in the band, right? Or was it just one guy? The "No Rain" video? Best. Video. Ever.
