April 2002 Creative Nonfiction: how has this genre influenced writing for children and young adults, as the line between fact and fiction continually blurs? How do we help young readers distinguish between what's real and what isn't - or does it even matter?
May 2002 What's So Funny about That?: types of humor in literature for children and teenagers, including satire, irony, parody, slapstick, gross-out humor, etc. What is it about Captain Underpants that kids find so funny? Does everyone chuckle about the continual misfortunes detailed by Lemony Snicket? in his Series of Unfortunate Events? Join the discussion to share your own experiences with kids and humor.
