7-Imp captures
a rare glimpse of fellow kidlit blogger David Elzey this week. It's an interview worth taking note of. After all, if you're not a regular reader of
the excelsior file by now, you should seriously reconsider your blog-reading priorities. Aside from his intelligent commentaries on classic folktales and tropes, the man has the rare ability to pin down
exactly why a book does or does not work. I refer you at this time to his comments regarding the new
Sticky Burr book. Smurfs in burr form? Precisely.
As I assume that all of you already are aware of the 7-Imp interviews, I don't like to point out one over another for fear of people thinking that I'm choosing my favorite people. So let's just makes something perfectly clear, children: I love each and everyone of you equally. Except for you, Alvina. I like you a whole heckuva lot more, so I'm highlighting the 7-Imp interview with you that's up right now.
And if you find yourself pouting over my fickle heart, do so while checking out this great interview with Calef Brown which I found via Children's Illustration. Those of you intending to polish up your interview skills would do well to perform a compare/contrast on these two different styles of the form.
Better late than never, though.
I'd just like to offer a tip of the hat to Jen Robinson of the fellow kidlit blog Jen Robinson's Book Page on her super sweet podcast interview located on the site Escape Adulthood. Someday I aim to have a pretty pretty blog just like that one with pictures and podcasts and all the frills and furbelows.
Nice "get", Scholastic.
NPR's interview with Brian Selznick is up and running. Such a charming man. The site where you can find the interview also includes a section from the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, itself.
You know, I was wondering if I was the only person out there who caught the Smurfs similarities, I was almost afraid to say anything for fear of appearing a bit off. Thanks for seconding the emotion, Fuse.
