I can see some...With the articles or the reviews? <br /><br />I can see someone feeling there's a "We're a happy children's publishing family" tone to the publication overall, especially with the special award issues that include acceptance speeches that tend to be about how great the children's publishing community is and happy, happy articles about the winners. But Roger Sutton's editorials balance that. He will comment on controversies or admit he's not fond of a particular popular series or trend. <br /><br />He's made some very interesting and open editorial choices over the years about articles he's published, too. I can remember one by a librarian who had grown up in a fundamentalist family. She could address their mind-set about objecting to books in a way that was not adversarial. He also once published an article about children's books about hunting. Again, not at all adversarial. The author accepted that hunting is a reading interest for children growing up in hunting cultures. And we do have them in this country.<br /><br />Hmm. It's as if there's a little something subversive going on there.<br /><br />I will be thinking of you when I read the next issue and do my next Horn Book post. What does Karen need to know about here?<br /><br /> <br />Gail Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673131515563387968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3377586.post-90122468668359216802015-05-15T05:43:57.390-04:002015-05-15T05:43:57.390-04:00I don't read Horn Book, unless my best friend ...I don't read Horn Book, unless my best friend gives me her copies.
