The Chatter begins….

Calling the Caldecott

And, yet…more chatter on the Caldecott…the Horn Book magazine’s seasonal blog is open and the ‘what I hope will be discussed by the committee has begun. http://www.hbook.com/2015/09/blogs/calling-caldecott/on-the-radar/#_
 
Any titles you, passionately want to see win?!
 

And, on the eBook front…..

Early Word quotes the NYT’s reporting that eBook sales are dropping off! A quirk? A trend? A minor hiccup? No ones knows! But, interesting to watch! http://www.earlyword.com/2015/09/23/ebooks-just-another-format/
 
All my best…
