Thanks for the links, Carrie (and for linking to my blog!). Isn’t that Onion video funny? I need to share that with my friend who doesn’t get on the computer much. She’s an avid YA reader and I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of it.
Literary Feline´s last blog ..Review: The Girl on Legare Street by Karen White
Wendy – yes, it gave me a laugh! In spite of the fact that YA is enjoying such cross-generation success, I really don’t think the same will happen with picture books.
Thanks for the link, Carrie!
