So, fun fact. I read a serious 2017 Newbery contender a couple months ago and it looks like they may release it in the nearish future (February 2nd). I’m calling 2016 as The Year of the Fox, by the way, since both Sara Pennypacker and Kathi Appelt have fox related middle grades on the horizon. This is a particularly nice little book trailer for the Pennypacker book, and not just because they get my current workplace correct. It’s a classy little number.
Betcha bottom dollar you’ll need to read it.
You know, when I hear about librarian parody videos, I naturally assume that they’re done of the latest, hottest song. It’s almost a relief to see one of, of all things, Bohemian Rhapsody. What’s next? Eye of the Tiger? Cause I’ll take it!
Thanks to Aunt Judy for the link.
As you may have heard, the internet being what it is, there’s a new illustrator of Harry Potter in town and his name is Jim Kay. A whole host of new images were released the other day, and that was swell, but sometimes it’s nice to hear from the artist himself.
You know, I thought I’d posted this video before but it appears I somehow didn’t. Ah well. It isn’t a Video Sunday without at least one 80s style toy ad. Such as it is.
Thanks to Dana Sheridan for the link!
And for today’s Off-Topic Video I’m going to say, “YES! I KNOW HE DOESN’T HIT THE BRICKS WITH HIS HEAD BUT WITH HIS FIST! THIS IS STILL FUNNY, CONSARN IT!” Phew! Had to get that out there.
