Young adult fiction gets its due, what with all the hub-bub about Katniss and the
Hunger Games, and I hear there's a movie about vampires and werewolves? Twi-something or other? But can I get a what, what, from the
kiddie lit fans this morning? FINALLY we got our due! And we've got
Maurice Sendak,
Richard Scarry, and the
Google Doodle to thank. Egads, kids, we've got a lot of ground to cover.
Sendak -- he of
Where the Wild Things Are fame -- is hot, hot, hot on Google because he's publishing a new book! In case you're more YA than kiddie lit fan, let me explain the importance for you. This is the FIRST book book written by the classic author since 1981.
