MAY 2001
We'll discuss the works of British author Philip Pullman, including his works for younger readers such as Clockwork and I Was a Rat!, as well as his highly acclaimed fantasy trilogy, "His Dark Materials" which includes The Golden Compass (called Northern Lights in the original British edition), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. For additional information about the author please see The Story Master, an interview by Kathleen Odean which appeared in School Library Journal, October 1, 2000, and The Achuka Interview: Philip Pullman by Michael Thorn.

JUNE 2001
It's been said that Peter Sis is one of the most imaginative artists of children's books today. For that reason we'll examine some of his books during June. Books we'll discuss will include Bean Boy (1984); Alphabet Soup (1987); Beach Ball (1990); Follow the Dream (1991); Kodmodo (1993); The Three Golden Keys (1994); Starry Messenger (1996); Tibet (1998); Fire Truck (1998); and Ballerina (2001). Others, too, if you wish!
On June 27, the Elvehjem Art Museum will open an exhibition of some of Peter Sis's works on paper. The exhibition "Small Worlds: Illustrations by Peter Sis" corresponds with Mr. Sis's summer residency at the University of Wisconsin - Madison as a guest of the Arts Institute. Mr. Sis will teach an academic course on Illustration during one of the summer sessions, give a public lecture, and make several other campus appearances. A brochure about the exhibition and related opportunities will be mailed to all Friends of the CCBC.
Information will be provided on the CCBC web site very soon.
JULY 2001
The novel True Believer by Virginia Euwer Wolff (Atheneum / Simon & Schuster) is one of the most provocative works of fiction published this spring. We'll discuss it in July, along with its predecessor Make Lemonade (hardcover Henry Holt, pbk ed. also available). See Roger Sutton's interview of Virginia Euwer Wolff in The Horn Book (May/June 2001).

We'll discuss books written by author Robert Cormier. (rescheduled from May, 2001)
Look for the books for one or more of these discussions now, so you'll be ready to enter into the discussion of special interest to you !
