This Friday, our Children's Literature class is going on a field trip to Toronto.
First, we're going to visit The
Osborne Collection which is a public collection of rare children's books and which includes two other collections – the Lillian H. Smith Collection and the Canadiana Collection. The site features info about their current exhibit (Books as Toys: The History
and Art of Pop-up and Movable Books) as well as links describing the
three collections in greater detail.

Then in the afternoon, we move on to The
Canadian Children's Book Centre. Their website features resource links, book
reviews, publishers websites and links to author/illustrator
websites.
A Classmate of the Day Award to Linda Bussiere for compiling these links and web site summaries to help us get excited for the trip. Our prof joked that she'd booked a yellow school bus to take us for the two-hour trip into Toronto so that we would learn sympathy for some of the things young people endure (at least I hope she was joking!)

If I remember to take the digital camera, I'll post pictures of our adventures.
