I am sorry, I should have read better. I got all excited because Mary Lee told me to submit something, and I didn't read. Is it to late to say "Scratch that?"Megan Germanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786949483938731951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-8832938867796474032007-07-10T13:39:00.000-07:002007-07-10T13:39:00.000-07:00Have you posted anything to the Picture Book Carni...Have you posted anything to the Picture Book Carnival yet?<BR/><BR/>http://blogcarnival.com/bc/cprof_1951.html<BR/><BR/>http://mentortexts.blogspot.comStacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-6687554158835034402007-07-10T13:00:00.000-07:002007-07-10T13:00:00.000-07:00OK I'm in with dad's playing with their kids.

I had college and grad school professors who NEVER gave extensions under any circumstances, and I understand why--though I thought it was a bit much that my Reference prof insisted my assignment be in that very night when I was sick as a dog. I got on the train, made it to class, turned in my assignment, stayed for 1/2 hour, and left. She was utterly oblivious to the fact that I was coughing up a lung. <BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I'll be a tad more merciful to the carnival submitters.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-70621417436914999102007-07-10T02:37:00.000-07:002007-07-10T02:37:00.000-07:001.

I can't stand the Chicken Licken story, but maybe that's because it hits a little too close to home, eh.<BR/><BR/><B>Melangell</B>: Sure! Just so you all know, it's not as if I'm sitting here going, "Hmmm, this will work, hmmm, that needs to be rejected." This is a carnival, and you are setting up your specific stall (stop snickering, Yorkshire Puddiing). If something is obviously out of the range of the carnival, I will gently advise the blogger to resubmit the article to a carnival of that subject.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-56756035966725646452007-07-07T20:00:00.000-07:002007-07-07T20:00:00.000-07:00You just want posts on kid lit?You just want posts on kid lit?Lone Star Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339475499304565638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-11745702811179765362007-07-07T16:34:00.000-07:002007-07-07T16:34:00.000-07:00What do you mean by "children"?

For 15/16 year old transatlantic children try "Heroes" by Robert Cormier. For small children try "Chicken Licken" - I never tire of reading this stupid story!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11123046.post-90278662369511349082007-07-07T15:32:00.000-07:002007-07-07T15:32:00.000-07:00Well, I feel that I must at least TRY to submit so...Well, I feel that I must at least TRY to submit something. What about my musings on pedagogical stories vis-a-vis pedantic stories vis-a-vis fanciful stories.
