After posting to the listserv the upcoming Oprah show where she was going to
have a segment on children's books.
I am wondering what members felt about her presentation and selection?
To me it was quite clear that Oprah had never seen the books prior
to the taping of the show. Children's books  get very little attention on
national television, and I suppose some exposure is better than none.This
may encourage viewers to seek out the titles she mentioned, but on the other
hand I just felt the enthusiasm that she displays with her adult bookclub
was absent.
