Another Announcement: Carnival of Children’s Literature
UPDATE: The Carnival is up! Click here to enter.
I don’t know about you, but I’m finding that the Carnivals of Education, Homeschooling, and Unschooling are highlights of my week. So much food for thought, and such fun to encounter new blogs and new ideas. It is my great pleasure, therefore, to announce that Here in the Bonny Glen will be hosting a Carnival of Children’s Literature on Monday, February 13th. Any post related to children’s books is a candidate for inclusion: book reviews, interviews, stories about reading to your kids, literary adventures in and out of the classroom, you name it. Authors and illustrators, we’d love to hear from you, too!
Not sure what a blog carnival is? I’ll let Henry explain.
To submit a post to the Carnival of Children’s Literature, send an email to melissawiley@earthlink.net by 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 11th. Include the following information:
• Name of your blog
• URL of your blog
• Title of your post
• URL of your post
• Brief summary of the post (if you wish)
Spread the word!
The Carnival of Children’s Literature can also be found at The Truth Laid Bear’s ÜberCarnival.

I’ve not come across Blog Carnivals before. Are Bloggers limited to one entry from their Blog per carnival ?

hey, Melissa. This sounds like a really fun idea.
I am new to blog carnivals, too. Does the carnival putter-togetherer include every post that is submitted, or does he or she choose which ones will be included?

I think it depends on how many submissions come in. If we get swamped, I’ll save some for next time around. For now, keep ’em coming! 🙂

Michelle asked: “Are Bloggers limited to one entry from their Blog per carnival ?”
Usually, but since many of the entries for this carnival are book reviews, I might include more than one per submitter. And extra posts can be included in a future carnival.
Thanks for your interest!

Troubling the Glass
At dawn a west wind troubles the still waters of an inland lake
Awakening the deep.
Splashes of light like silent shouts glare
across the water. They started in a straight forward
way to cross the lake in the gathering dark
but the wind rippled water broke up the
attack and smeared out the forces of light
into a undulating wedge.
Muddying the greens.
And always a mashed potato sky.
With some people it’s the birds and the bees
but with you it’s all buzzards and cane toads.
