Subject: CFP--The Looking Glass From: "Jones, Caroline E" Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 09:08:46 -0500 X-Message-Number: 2
The Looking Glass: New Perspectives on Children's Literature invites submissions to all columns and sections for a special issue:
New Media Submission deadline: 31 October 2011 Publication date: January/February 2012
Critical, reflective, inquiring, and entertaining articles are welcomed for a special issue on the changing nature of children's and adolescents' "books". This is a growing, turbulent, and dynamic area of children's literature and culture, ripe with possibility. From "Choose Your Own Adventure" to "The 39 Clues," this issue will explore the myriad ways in which children's literature and technology intersect, and how that intersection changes the literature, the reader, and maybe even the tech.
Suggested topics and approaches include, but are not limited to: * E-books * Book-film-animation translation * Blogging serials * Fan-sites and fan fiction * Publishing and marketing trends such as * Smart phone apps * LeapFrogВ® * Multi-platform marketing
The Looking Glass seeks submissions for all sections, with a special emphasis on: Alice's Academy: formal, refereed academic articles Emerging Voices: academic papers from previously unpublished critics and students Jabberwocky: serious pieces, edited but not refereed Curiouser and Curiouser: short and entertaining pieces on any and all facets of children's literature.
Please visit our home page: www.the-looking-glass.net. Send submissions to editor_at_the-looking-glass.net and state for which column they are intended.

Subject: Global Reading From: Linda Pavonetti Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:48:15 -0400 X-Message-Number: 3
I'd like to suggest USBBY's three—but soon to be four— book series, "Bridges to Understanding" to those who might not be aware of it. The new edition will be available in late September and is called *Bridges to Understanding: Envisioning the World through Children's Books* edited by Linda M. Pavonetti (Scarecrow, 2011). Each of the books reviews children's books, with some YA award winners, that were originally published outside the US or that substantially add to the understanding of other nations, their people, and customs. The new book has more than 700 reviews by librarians, teachers, and academics. The previous three are: * Boundaries with Children's Books* edited by Doris Gebel (Scarecrow, 2006)
*--The World through Children's Books* edited by Susan Stan (Scarecrow,
2002) and
*--Children's Books from Other Countries* edited by Cal Tomlinson
(Scarecrow, 1998). Linda
