Having started this list in 2013, and subsequently updated it in 2017, today I give you the full monty. Readers have been very good about suggesting titles, so here is what I’ve been able to add.

The time has come, dear readers, to update the Complete Listing of All Public Children’s Literature Statues in the United States once again. If you happen to know of an obscure one that I could be missing, lay it on me and I’ll add it to the upcoming updated post.
Part of what I like about this blog so much is its ability to crowdsource information. Take my updated version of The Complete Listing of All Public Children’s Literature Statues in the United States. The post got a nice response and an even nicer series of statues I’d never even heard of. A new How […]
In 2013 I had a crazy notion to list every single children’s literature statue I could think of in a single blog post. I did. It was fun. And now almost four years have gone by and I’ve thought often of the piece. Honestly, I never finished incorporating some of the suggested statues from my […]
A lot to say and so little time to say it. Let’s get started! Today, if you are at all feeling blue, I suggest you read The Toast piece Jaya Catches Up: A Little Princess which is a killer breakdown of what is inarguably a problematic book. The Marie Antoinette portions are particularly choice. […]
Here in New York we’re getting very excited. The 90-Second Film Festival is coming!! And soon too! Here’s a PW interview with James Kennedy about the festival and for those of you in the NYC area you can see it at NYPL on Saturday, March 7th at 3:00 p.m. In fact, now that I think […]
Write a title to your blog post like that you are just SETTING YOURSELF UP for trouble. But I like trouble. I eat it for breakfast. Or, at the very least, gnaw on it idly at lunch. In the past I’ve noted each appearance of a statue pertaining to children’s literature when it crops up, […]
Sharp-eyed spotters in the children’s book realm caught site of an interesting little something in the Kidlitosphere this week: An honest-to-gosh manifesto. Not a manifesto of a nefarious nature, mind, but one that begins with the conversation starter, “We are tired of hearing the picture book is in trouble, and tired of pretending it is […]
This may have to qualify for this month’s Best Thing Ever. You know Jon Scieszka? Great guy. Has two kids as it happens. Casey and Jake. Good guys. Adults. Now along with Steven Weinberg (who wrote To Timbuktu with Casey) the trio has created Diary of a Manly Kid. Pretty much what it sounds like […]
Like the wind! Faster than lightning! Lots of news and no time to tell it. In brief . . . Oh, how cool! This is not to be missed. For those of you with an interest in children’s literature around the globe, the blog Playing by the Book offers this fantastic view of children’s literary […]
As far as I’m concerned, every good blog post should begin with fiction starring Gregory Peck. What we have here is one of the luscious finds boasted by Greg Hatcher over at the site Comic Book Resources. I’m a big fan of Hatcher because when he does round ups like this one he always takes […]
Yeah, this week is party week, baby! First I recap a Robert Forbes party alongside Cynthia von Buhler’s event of the year. Now I turn my attention to a party beneath a bridge. The 59th Street Bridge, if you’re going to be technical about it. Picture, if you will, a glassed enclosure nestled sweetly beneath […]
