Other Views on the Medals
As I re-read the honor books for further comment, I’ve been enjoying the reports at a couple of new-to-me blogs:
Peter Sieruta’s Collecting Children’s Books, where he reports that Only [His] Right Frontal Lobe Exploded upon hearing the announcements…and delves a little deeper into the Twitter controversy.
Six Boxes of Books, by LaurieA-B and Wendy Burton (who was at our discussion in Oakland!). Start with their live-blogging Reactions as They Happen and read up.
…And to respond to the many who’ve expressed that they hope this blog will continue..here’s your head’s up that we will be going on hiatus, as soon as we exhaust this year’s awards aftermath…and with every intention of starting up again later in year, in plenty of time to gather your suggestions.
