Items of Interest

Here are some news items of interest I've run across in the past few days:

--Karen MacPherson reports for ScrippsNews on Beginning with Books's list of Best Books for Babies in 2007. If you're interested in books for the very young, don't miss this article.

--This is probably a short-lived link, so hurry over and read C.M. Hewins's 1888 article "The History of Children's Books" at The Atlantic.com.

--Christopher Harder thinks Eric Carle is a rock star and tells us why in The Christian Science Monitor.

--Guess what striking writers are up to? Read all about it at the Hollywood Reporter.

--Don't miss Jen Robinson and her gig over at PBSparents. She wrote an awesome first post and today has a great followup on reluctant readers at her blog.
