From the editor

As I write, Kitty Flynn and Lolly Robinson, along with our web team in New York, are busy readying a revamped www.hbook.com. Go take a look. There’s some neat new stuff there, including some children’s book satire inspired by Project Runway and an interview by Leonard Marcus with Maurice Sendak about the great artist’s new picture book, Bumble-Ardy.

And don’t miss our new blog, Calling Caldecott. Helmed by Lolly and Horn Book reviewer Robin Smith, the blog will consider all matter of things to do with the Caldecott Medal, including our team’s appraisals of what’s going for this year’s gold. We are hoping that you will be enlightened by the posts and join in the discussion.
