Hooray for STINKY NO-NOs!
Congratulations to Eleanor Davis on receiving a Geisel Honor for an outstanding book for beginning readers.
The nice people at Toon Books have sent me two more books -- LUKE ON THE LOOSE by Harry Bliss, and THE BIG NO-NO! by Geoffrey Hayes, and I enjoyed them both.
THE BIG NO-NO! is plenty cute, but has enough action, mud, mystery, and calamity to entertain any kid.

The Joy of Children's Literature:
The pictures tell the details, leaving the words free for poetry. It's a great picture book.

I am the proud recipient of a Butterfly Award. Thanks Lorie Ann Grover and Joan Holub at ReaderTotz!
I'd like to pass this award on to James Preller (but I don't wish to provide him with another reason to feel guilty).

“Disneyland Dream” Named to National Film Registry
From the Library of Congress’s press release:
Disneyland Dream (1956) The Barstow family films a memorable home movie of their trip to Disneyland. Robbins and Meg Barstow, along with their children Mary, David and Daniel were among 25 families who won a free trip to the newly opened Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., as part of a ‘Scotch Brand Cellophane Tape’ contest sponsored by 3M. Through vivid color and droll narration (”The landscape was very different from back home in Connecticut”), we see a fantastic historical snapshot of Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Catalina Island, Knott’s Berry Farm, Universal Studios and Disneyland in mid-1956. Home movies have assumed a rapidly increasing importance in American cultural studies as they provide a priceless and authentic record of time and place.
