Looking at Picture Books

Two of my favorite children's book authors have started a Substack called, aptly enough, Looking at Picture Books. Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett will be exploring how picture books work. This is a total dream collab for anyone interested in kids books. Fangirling hard on this one. Their first study is on Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. Subscribe and do not miss! (You can follow me over there, too. I am not really talking about kids' books, but I am writing about going back to college as a 50-year-old with lots of books sprinkled in.)

The Man Who Lost His Head Returns!

New York Review Books does it again. One of my all time favorite vintage children's books will be back in print next month. The Man Who Lost His Head by Claire Huchet Bishop and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. Bless this publishing house. Seriously. And check out my original post from way back in 2008.
