Picture books, a wired discussion!
Join us on Tuesday, October 27 at 9 PM EST to chat with two experts about
the creative uses of picture books.  Learn and share about:

        What's new and great
        What's going to win the Caldecott
        Ideas for creative dramatics
        What books make great scripts
        Collaborative writing activities for teachers and librarians
        Message books (books that have a message to deliver)
        Books that make kids laugh
        Picture books for older readers: a developing genre

Our two hosts are:
