ALA also has a list of Notable Children’s Videos for 2006.  You will see lots of videos from Weston Woods, the high quality creator of films based on children’s picture books.  Though Weston Woods videos can be prohibitively expensive for many libraries, you will want to take a look at the DVD series from Scholastic that compiles several Weston Woods films on a single DVD for a very reasonable price. 

Pete Hautman, author of Godless and Invisible, has a new book coming out in May, entitled Rash.  He also has an Amazon author blog that is worth checking out.
