I'll probably try to get them to read across genres though, using the format or subject as a draw, whichever they're interested in.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-39034105354568919352015-02-10T17:09:01.199-06:002015-02-10T17:09:01.199-06:00Jennifer: Jacqueline "Woodson," not &quo...Jennifer: Jacqueline "Woodson," not "Wilson."<br /><br />I'm curious why you think the Crossover, as a novel in verse, won't circulate if Woodson's did?

I'm excited! She's such an awesome person, but I can't get behind it as a picture book biography.<br /><br />I'd be interested too! This is just my small library and small consortium, so it would be interesting to see how these titles go in other libraries.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915041119468051754.post-70422504023866722732015-02-08T18:54:17.461-06:002015-02-08T18:54:17.461-06:00I find these posts just fascinating.

I (and my kids) liked Josephine but I don't see it having huge kid appeal. <br /><br />And I loved The Right Word but totally recognized that it was because <i>I</i> am both a word lover and a totally dug the art. I wanted it for me, not because I thought the kids would like it. <br /><br />And I am glad to see Neighborhood Sharks get some love. <br /><br />I am going to have to see if I can get some circulation numbers out of our library. I really want to see how they compare.

Katherine Roy of Neighborhood Sharks...Hi Jennifer,<br /><br />Katherine Roy of Neighborhood Sharks here! Your post just came up in my alerts account and I found it fascinating to read your thoughts into this year's ALA awards, both what you agreed with and what you didn't, and how that impacts what you choose to purchase for your library. I'm also delighted that you like my book and that it's circulating well in your system! GREAT point about the STEM stuff. Could I ask you a couple of questions about that and your opinions about picture book biographies via email? If not, no problem, and thanks again for your post! <br /><br />All best,<br /><br />KatherineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595880999421193581noreply@blogger.com
