Just in case you aren’t sure where you stand on the picture book issue and need to refresh your opinion, or you need to get a little early holiday shopping done Gilt is offering select Harper Collins children’s books with such wonderful classics as Good Night Moon, Fancy Nancy, The […]
by M.O.M. This is a book blog, simple and to the point. Occasionally there are brief related topics – movies, poems, book related things, fun things that somehow connect to the printed word. It is written (for the most part) by a rampant book reader who is young, and found […]
Hey, it saves a lot of room when folded.
Interesting video and the music is really good too. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-2-8p6kEUI]
Have you been keeping up on the Chilean mining situation? After what must have felt like an eternity in the dark, so far underground, the miners are being rescued. Slowly and carefully, one by one. To read of their ordeal is sobering. But did you know that while they have […]
Some of us here at MLCWO are old enough to remember John Lennon, and some of us aren’t. But we both love his music and the poetry of words and music he left us. If he had been alive he would have been really old today. No matter. Wherever you […]

There is nothing better than a good ‘who done it’. Everyone loves a good mystery whether it is Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie, Stephen King or Jonathan Frazen. WHO? Jonathan Frazen. Who is he you might ask. A writer of some merit, but not YA or children’s books. He is a […]
Halloween is finally here and once again it is time to get out the jack-o-lanterns, and time to get out that scary mask that was stored deep into the box. This is the time when if you are not in bed by midnight, you will turn into a pumpkin or […]
Trinity College Library I know this might not be a weird bookcase or something interesting, but just look at all the books. There must be thousands and thousands. That is one library that I would love to get lost in. You can tell they have a lot of books because […]
JK Rowling is on Oprah this Friday (October 1, 2010). Just thought you might like to know. After all, we love Harry Potter. And it is Banned Books Week (how appropriate). [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQZFWA2KDbw] Sorry, you have to go to YouTube to see this – but it is worth it.
In case you haven’t heard it is Banned Books Week. You may wonder, what exactly is this? Well, it celebrates the freedom to read whatever you want. It reminds us about the importance of freedom of information. And reminds us about censorship. That is when you can’t get the information, […]
Don’t know why but this bookcase reminds me of a Dr. Seuss book or maybe Salvador Dali’s paintings. Weird?!?!?!?!?!
What do we like most? Books ✓ Stop Animation ✓ Paper arts✓ What do you get when you combine all three? A really wonderful video. Have a great weekend!!
Do you know what today is? No, we didn’t either. September is a month that is not really remarkable with events (if you exclude back to school, Labor day and several religious events). But hidden inside this month is quite a special day ~ September 22. It’s Hobbit Day! September […]
There are old books, and there are OLD BOOKS. Have you ever noticed how the old books look so interesting? and how they feel? The paper is different. The covers too. Have you noticed how new books feel? The covers have ink that leaves some sort of impression on your […]
Books are a wonderful thing. They are fun to read, they are wonderful to hold, and they are interesting to look at. But unfortunately not that many people read books anymore. In 2007 (I know that is a long time a in the past but…) MSNBC did a poll to […]
This person must really love their country.
