Back to School with Maisy

Monday, September 10th, 2012

We’ve had such a great summer with three fabulous exhibitions. We were so lucky to host original artwork from Eric Carle’s Slowly, Slowly, Slowly Said the Sloth in our West Gallery, a breath-taking collection of pieces by Ezra Jack Keats in our East Gallery and the bright cheerful work of Lucy Cousins in our Central Gallery all summer long!

As summer vacation comes to an end, we welcome a change of pace and season here at The Carle. We’re ready for changing leaves, cooler temperatures and the return of the yellow school bus. We’re lucky to be hosting Maisy artwork until November, so this week we thought a change was due to our Lucy Cousins book display. We’ve replaced our bestselling summer Maisy titles:

with a few new titles to get us in the back-to-school spirit.

Happy September everyone! What books do you like to read to get ready for fall?

Picture Book Puzzler: Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week: September 25, 2010 to October 2, 2010

This Saturday marked the beginning of Banned Books Week, a week observed at the end of every September since 1982 to celebrate free access to information, while drawing attention to the harms of censorship. All across the country libraries and bookstores have scheduled events to highlight banned and challenged books and to celebrate our democratic right and freedom to read.

Some of the books that have been banned in schools and libraries even very recently may surprise you. Favorite children’s books such as Charlotte’s Web, Winnie-the-Pooh, Where’s Waldo, and In the Night Kitchen have all made the frequently banned book list.

I was even more surprised to see one of Eric Carle’s picture books at #61 on the Top 100 Banned and Challenged Books. Can you guess which book this could possibly be?
