Younger folk are so lucky to have had "Harriet, the Spy," "A Taste of Blackberries," "Captain Underpants," "Dorp Dead," "Hey! Dollface", and so many of the fine new books. I was fortunate to be able to
"teach," i.e., discuss them with the children's book classes (I still refuse to call it "Literature" since time determines that) at a university or two. I was really lucky to be able to present M.B. Goffstein's sharply carved jewels to younger and older children as well as hosts of other titles, novels, nonfiction, and picture books.
Someday, we'll all sit down for a drink or two and relate stories about the effects of the books on those with whom we worked. It was an honor and a great pleasure--a gift to us.
