​Balderdash! John Newbery and the Boisterous Birth of Children's Books, by Michelle Markel
Before his name graced golden seals on the covers of books for children, John Newbery was a humble printer with big dreams. In lively language set in attractive, varying fonts, Markel describes the world of literature when Newbery was alive: there were plenty of adventure stories for adults, but kids were left with "preachy poems and fables" and "manuals that told them where to stand, how to sit, not to laugh, and scores of other rules." He loved reading as a child, went on to work as a printer, and then made a groundbreaking decision to write and market entertaining, silly stories for children.
Video Balderdash presented by EDUC329
