Publications about books for children and young adults
>The inaugural Horn Book Podcast is up for your listening pleasure. Lolly is setting it up with iTunes so you’ll be able to subscribe; for now, go to the podcast page on our site to hear my interview with Jon Scieszka.
I interviewed Jon for our special September issue, Boys and Girls. That too is now just out and you can see the table of contents here and web extras here. I think this is one of the best issues we’ve done.

>Roger, that was a terrific essay on “Annie on My Mind.” Thanks so much for making it available online. I’m looking forward to reading the entire issue.
>Just read the interview with Jon Scieszka, and it’s great. “Can we say this in the Horn Book?” Yes, Jon, I believe you did.
Is there more in the podcast than in the printed interview, juicy outtakes and mumbled asides?
>I shoulda been more clear: the podcast conversation is completely different from the printed interview. We talked for a long time!
