So many good videos to choose from today! First and foremost, I begin with a very special message from Jon Scieszka. It seems you still have two days to vote in the Children’s Book Choice Awards and . . . well . . . Jon would really like your kids to do so. Seriously.
I also enjoyed this video from Storycorps. In it, a woman reflects on the bookmobile that changed her life:
In other news, it’s been a good book trailer season. When I went to Zootopia the other day (and how cool was its Emmett Otter reference?) I got a couple before the show. In this first video I spent the bulk of it trying to figure out if it was an adaptation of the Mac Barnett / Jory John Terrible Two series. It is based on a book, but we just aren’t that lucky:
On the plus side, the new BFG trailer looks pretty darn good:
And there’s a new trailer for A Monster Calls that I really enjoyed.
Finally, for the off-topic video, I actually think you could make a case for this being on-topic. I mean, have you ever seen a truer to life version of Are You My Mother?
It comes with its own Snort!
About Elizabeth Bird
I remember bookmobiles from childhood with great fondness. Does anyone still do that?
Oh yes! Very much so. Not just bookmobiles but mobile hotspots and e-resource vans. But bookmobiles too. Brooklyn Public Library has their own little mini gas station behind the main library just for theirs.
Of course I love the Jon Scieszka video! haha!
This is a great round-up of movie trailers based on MG books. Thank you!
