Book Talk Y'all

My good friend here at SLIS Callie Ann is starting a new series called "Book Talk Y'all." Check it out. It's awesome. She's awesome. Dr. Seuss is awesome. He has a birthday coming up, on March 2nd, Read Across America Day.

I make my first appearance in "Book Talk Y'all" at 1:39.  At 2:41 it starts going down hill and I get a little Kristen Bell on ya', then by 6:58, I've just lost it.

Dr. Seuss's first children's book

Did you know the book above inspired this CCR song? Learn all about it and more by checking out "Book Talk Y'all!"

1. I am now in library school with many people aspiring to be children's librarians. (Roll Tide.)

2. My little sister is an elementary education major at LSU. (Boo Tigers).  

1+2 = my renewed interest in children's books.  

I have started keeping my eye out for children's books I can buy my sister for her future classroom.  I got quite a few at an end of semester book sale for great prices and picked up a few more while shopping at Kohl's after Christmas through the Kohl's Cares program, which sells kid-friendly merchandise and uses 100 percent of the net profit donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities worldwide.  Eric Carle books were for sale, and I picked up two.  I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the collage illustrations of Eric Carle as a child.  If you've forgotten too, allow me to remind you.
