Hi, all--my new blog is up, although I'm not ready for its grand opening just yet. But I thought you all might be interested in my picture book analyses where instead of reviewing, I analyze qualities of different picture books to help others see how to set up picture books and make them work.

The first one is up: http://wwwpamcalvert.blogspot.com/2013/06/picture-book-analysis-nugget-and-fang.html

What a nice shock to see my good friends Nugget & Fang!

I look forward to reading more of these.

Tammi - Happy to see Nugget and Fang again! I've read your book, so I can picture the illustrations and imagine the story along with Pam's analysis. Fun! Fun! Fun!

Your analysis is SO helpful! I signed on as a follower (my real name is Sarah) so I won't miss any of your future posts. I feel like I've been to a mini-workshop and can now see a scene in my wip that needs more depth. Thanks!
