Chester's Masterpiece

Chester's Masterpiece | Melanie Watt

Perfectly Mélanie...sorry I mean Chester.
2 weeks ago

It is a battle of wills between feline and creator in this hilarious new book by Mélanie Watt. Her egocentric cat Chester has hidden her art supplies so that he can write his own story. But, he gets kind of confused and soon Mélanie is showing him how it’s done. Watt (and Chester) has created a book that not only tells a funny story, but teaches kids the important components of what goes into a good story. This book is endearing that I predict that this will be at bedtime favourite for kids … read review

Newbery, Caldecott and Printz Awards Announced

2 months ago

The Children’s book world has been all a flutter with the announcement of the Newbery, Caldecott and Printz awards last week. Kind of considered the “Oscars” of children’s books awards, the American Library Association chooses what they consider to be the best of the best and the prize is given out to the lucky author or illustrator later this year. Rebecca Stead won the prestigious Newbery Medal for WHEN YOU REACH ME, Jerry Pinkney won the Randolph Caldecott Medal for THE LION AND THE MOUSE … view post

    Oh, I can find it on the site. The Community just won't let me post a note with the word in it! It asks me to delete it before it will post.

    I shall remove that one, and see if I can't get a list together with others.

    The web site won't even let me type the title! That's funny. By far, the oddest thing I have come across is called "Cun* Coloring Book" by Dee Corrinne. It came up in Kiosk when I was looking for a Womens Studies book for a customer: "Cun*, A Declaration of Independance" by Inga Muscio. The look on my face when the 1st one came up had the customer demanding to know what was so shocking! It made her laugh. I printed it off to show my boss. She thinks I have a knack for finding strange stuff.

    ... have what may be considered "suggestive" titles, or content not deemed appropriate by some members of the community.

    Should I keep the more "out there" titles to myself, or is the whole catalogue open? I don't want to go against a company policy.

    I have a strange question, and don't know who to ask. Since we are new friends, I thought I would try to describe it to you. LOL! Can anything listed in our collection be added in Top Tens, reviews, etc?

    I have worked for the company for about 16 months now. Over that time, my co-workers and I have "stumbled" across some oddities while searching items for customers and such. I thought about doing a Top Ten of the most unusual/unexpected titles we have found. But some of these...

    Thanks KE. Yeah I'm on the list and I have a great relationship with our local RH rep and Jennifer Herman at RH.
    Have you read Alvin Ho Allergic to School, Girls, and other Scary Things. It's fabulous. I can't wait to read the next one.

    Hello K.E.
    Just thought I'd let you know a little bit about me. I am the fulltime Kids CER at Chapters in Dartmouth NS. The Penderwicks and Fablehaven are some of the books I most often recommend and I love the 39 Clues.
    I have a great a friend in my local RH Rep and wish I could develop that with reps from other publishers as well. It helps to sell books to have the inside info.
    I love to get kids excitied about reading. Love their enthusiasm for a great story.
    Gifted is on my list too.
