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.

Harriet and Artemis Sitting In a Tree...
I don't have any difficulty writing blog postings every day because there's always going to be some kind of kidlit news out there somewhere. It's more difficult for the authorial blogs, I think. Unless the writer in question is on tour, they may find it hard to come up with much in the way of subject matter. So imagine my delight when I saw the newest topic of discussion on the Longstockings blog. The Question of the Week is: Which two characters from children's or YA literature would make the perfect couple? The answers may surprise you. A tip of the hat to a cool question.
If Harriet chose to limit herself to the ho-hums of coupledom, would she really choose a boy?
ReplyDeleteHo HO! Somebody read a particular Harriet-centered article in Horn Book last year. Or perhaps you picked up on the very interesting subtext yourself. In any case, a good point.
