Publications about books for children and young adults
>Claire has compiled a list of recommended bedtime stories perfect for these cooling nights. Allow me to add one–Jonathan Bean’s At Night (FSG), which received a starred review from Jennifer Brabander in the September/October issue but whose perfection I only realized when I read it aloud in Vermont last week.

>Roger,
I’m laughing at Bean’s at Night. Did you mean to pun or did you mean
Jonathan Bean’s- At Night?
You’re right-It’s just about perfect for bedtime or anytime.
Any comments about Mem Fox’s Where the Giant Sleeps…….
