The Public Thinktank

Today I'm posting from St. Louis, where I'm visiting family for the week of Thanksgiving. Hope you are all gearing up for a great holiday!

Just a note to say today between 12:00 and 1:00 pm I will be interviewed on Public Thinktank Radio during their Lets Talk About Education show. It will be a live call-in show where I talk about recent projects and my new books. The station broadcasts in the Brooklyn College area, but if you feel like tuning in you can also listen online (there is a link at their web site) or check the archives in a few days.

More soon!

EGGS for president!

Libby alerted me to this great little audio postcard that aired on NPR's All Things Considered last week.

Eggs by Jerry Spinelli had the most supporters so far, beating out Warriors, Frindl, and Harry Potter! Then again, we know how the tides can shift...

Listen here!
