The forest has played a major role in children's literature from the earliest time.
The forest was mysterious, a place of unknowns and often darkness and fear.
From legends to fairy tales, the forest was a place of wonder and often a place of danger...from Winnie the Poo to Little Red Riding Hood
The forests are central to the Planet Of The Dogs and Castle In The Mist.
For readers, the forests, like the books whose stories embrace them, open the doors to the imagination.
This blog is dedicated to children's literature that opens the doors to the imagination. And to the amazing role of dogs in enhancing our lives. -
SLEEPING BEAUTIES VS. GONZO GIRLS By Maria Tatar
In this fascinating article that moves through children's literature and cultural myths ranging from Gretel and Red Riding Hood to Katniss Everdeen and Lady Gaga, Maria Tatar explores the evolution of the female archetype today. Here are excerpts.
Beauty goodbye at last, as feminists advised us to do not so long ago...
Maria Tatar chairs the program for folklore and mythology at Harvard University. She is the editor of the excellent Enchanted Hunters, the Power of Stories in Childhood.
The Illustration Of Red Riding Hood in bed with the wolf is by Dore...
In recent times, many versions of the fairy tales of old have been made for film and TV. Producers of these retold versions of Little Red Riding Hood have been inspired by the early versions of the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault with the ominous forest, the dangerous wolf, and the innocent young maiden. These retellings have often been heavily influenced by the quest for commercial success, and the reults have been decidely mixed. Often banal or cliched, they are examples of how commerce as well cultural change affects the retelling of fairy tales.
Here is a link to the trailer of the 2011 Movie film, Red Riding Hood
And here is an excerpt and a link to Roger Ebert's laugh out loud review.
"Of the classics of world literature crying out to be filmed as a sexual fantasy for teenage girls, surely "Red Riding Hood" is far down on the list. Here's a movie that cross-pollinates the "Twilight" formula with a werewolf and adds a girl who always wears a red hooded cape...
What this inspiration fails to account for is that while a young woman might toy with the notion of a vampire boyfriend, she might not want to mate with a wolf. Although she might think it was, like, cool to live in the woods in Oregon, she might not want to live in the Black Forest hundreds of years ago because, like, can you text from there?
"Red Riding Hood" has the added inconvenience of being dreadfully serious about a plot so preposterous, it demands to be filmed by Monty Python..."
Like Mr Ebert, most critics gave the film a negative review. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the audience rating was 39%.
A sensual intepretation of Little Red Ridin Hood from 1997 is found in this short film by David Kaplan adopted from Conte De LA Mere Grande...music by Debussy...the wolf moves like a seductive spirit of the forest...soft black and white images and a clever Red Riding Hood...
Here is the Link: Red Riding Hood
Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf
Roald Dahl wrote his own version of Little Red Riding Hood in the form of a humorous,tongue in cheek poem. This is how it begins...
"As soon as Wolf began to feel
That he would like a decent meal,
He went and knocked on Grandma's door.
When Grandma opened it, she saw
The sharp white teeth, the horrid grin,
And Wolfie said, "May I come in?"
Poor Grandmamma was terrified,
"He's going to eat me up!" she cried.
And she was absolutely right.
He ate her up in one big bite.
But Grandmamma was small and tough,
And Wolfie wailed, "That's not enough!
I haven't yet begun to feel
That I have had a decent meal!"
He ran around the kitchen yelping,
"I've got to have a second helping!"...
The image above is from a fun film made of Dahl's Red Riding Hood poem using stop-motion puppets. The imaginative creators, Hannah Legere and Andrew Wilson, certainly caught the spirit of the Dahl poem. Link here to this delightful film version of Roald Dahl's poem...
The dog lover in the photograph is Roald Dahl.
Artists and Illustrators...
14 different artist's versions of Red Riding Hood are posted on the Art of Children's Books blog site..here is an excerpt from their introduction...
"Folk tales and fairy tales are at the top of the list when it comes to vintage children's books. The Brothers Grimm* folk tale, Little Red Riding Hood, has been a beloved and enduring story. Originally titled Little Red Cap, the story has a strong lesson. Since it's publication, Little Red Riding Hood has been illustrated by many artists over the years. Here is just a sampling of the different artistic interpretations of Little Red Riding Hood."
Book cover by Andrea Wisnewski...*The original version was published by Charles Perault.
The Forest and Imagination...
The influence of the forest on the imagination will always be with us, especially in legend, folk tales and children's stories.
Innumerable film and TV versions, including many annimated cartoons, of Little Red Riding Hood will continue to be made. And wonderful writers like Roald Dahl in the past, and Philip Pullman in the present, will continue to find the forests of fairy tales a timeless setting for timeless stories.
The illustration is by Arthur Rackham...if you look closely, on the path beneath the huge tree, you will see red Riding Hood and the wolf.
Reading for Pleasure...opening the imagination, opening the mind...
Reading for pleasure puts children ahead in the classroom, according to a UK study of the reading behavior of appoximately 6000 young people. Here are excerpts from a report that reaffirms the value early reading and bedtime stories.
"Children who read for pleasure are likely to do significantly better at school than their peers, according to new research from the Institute of Education (IOE).
The IOE study, which is believed to be the first to examine the effect of reading for pleasure on cognitive development over time, found that children who read for pleasure made more progress in maths, vocabulary and spelling between the ages of10 and 16 than those who rarely read...
...Children who were read to regularly by their parents at age 5 performed better in all three tests at age 16 than those who were not helped in this way."
The research was conducted by Dr Alice Sullivan and Matt Brown; To read the article, visit Pleasure Reading
The Doors that Rose opens...
"I consider myself a facilitator…if my dog could drive, she would not need me. Rose seems to enjoy seeing people multiple times and developing a relationship with the people… She is a working dog by nature and she just loves these jobs. I am constantly amazed at the doors that Rose opens…she goes to places I could never get without her…reaches beyond my reach, touches a person deeper than my touch. The restless or agitated patient who is calmed by Rose's touch...the child in the classroom who won't settle down and get to work but when Rose sits by them, they quiet right down and the hyperactivity seems to dissipate. The child getting excited about reading to Rose every week; they wouldn't do that for me, but they do it for Rose. Lying with a dying patient who will smile, close their eyes and stroke her with a peacefulness that is so precious…I know I could not enter that person's space without Rose…it really is all about occupying part of someone else's space for just a short time be it in a school, home or hospital..."
A former teacher, Susan Purser, and her Australian Cattle Dog, Rose, have been very active as a therapy dog team for several years in Sarasota, Florida.
Paws Giving Independence
Paws Giving Independence is a recpient of a 2013 Planet Dog Foundation Grant. Planet Dog has this year donated $71,500 in new grants to 16 non-profit dog organizations..."The PDF grants will help fund assistance dog, therapy dog and search and rescue programs across the country and support a wide variety of non-profit programs that are helping children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities; injured service members; natural disaster survivors and many more people in need..."
"Paws Giving Independence is an all-volunteer organization that saves dogs from area shelters, trains them to be service/companion dogs, and places the dogs, free of charge, with those in need. Their Saving a Life to Change a Life project identifies suitable dogs in shelters and trains them to meet the specific needs of people with disabilities. They train dogs to open doors, pick up dropped objects, turn lights on and off, and other ways to assist in independence. In addition, they train dogs to alert for epileptic and diabetic seizures, and psychological assistance for military veterans with PTSD. PDF funds support veterinary care, special prosthetics and balance equipment and training."
Paws Giving Independence was founded in 2008 by 3 Bradley University students who recognized the marvelous healing capabilities of dogs.
for Dog Lovers and decent people...
Here's a Goodreads review that strikes home and makes sense for dog lovers and decent people...Passionate dog rescuer, animal rights advocate and author.C.A. Wulff wrote How to Change The World in 30 Seconds...
"At first i started reading this book as an animal rescuer myself. But as i started to go through all of the information in the book i realized that this book is a GREAT informative guide for people who have just dipped their toes into the realm of rescue. It is laid out in a way that focuses on an audience that may, or may not have already heard of some of the ideas. This way a novice rescuer can understand it, but the veteran rescuer isnt just wading through either. I saw several options that were detailed out even for someone in rescue many years. So really what im saying is.. it doesnt matter if you are new or old to it, this can give you great ideas, starting points and explanations for why so many rescuers are able to save lives on click at a time."
Here is a link to the full review by Sylence of How to Change the World in 30 Seconds, in Goodreads...
Much has been written of the importance of childhood experiences with books...books that meant a lot to an individual as a child and where the memory of the book remains important in their adult life. Here, thanks to Monica Edinger's Educating Alice blog, are excerpts from a rather fascinating converstion by two of the most prominent, respected, and imaginative writers of children's and YA literature...
Guest Blog: Gaiman & Pullman Talk Children's Books in Literary Oxford
"Gaiman talked about reading the Mary Poppins books when he was six or seven and how they helped form whatever worldview he had as a kid. 'The idea that the world is incredibly unlikely and strange secret things are always happening, that adults don't really explain to you, or in fact, that adults may be oblivious to'...
''His (Gaiman's) wonder was infectious as he recalled discovering the library when he was very young and having that incredible feeling of power; discovering the card catalogue in which you could actually look up subjects like witches or robots or ghosts; or you could just take down books and read the interesting ones. Both authors talked about discovering American comic books and marveled at the speed in the stories, the size of them, with Gaiman adding, "Everything was alien, everything was equally as strange and unlikely, so skyscrapers, and pizza and fire hydrants were just as alien to my world as people in capes flying around..."
Monica Edinger, a fourth grade teacher, and a passionate advocate of the wonders and benefits of children's literature, has a very lively and informative blog: Educating Alice . Her new book, Africa Is My Home, is receiving excellent reviews.
Here are excerpts from her blog ;
The Unjournal of Children's Literature
The "un" movement is an intriguing one. Until recently I had only heard about it in terms of unconferences, participant-driven events such as this one. But now there is another sort of un-thing, an unjournal. Created by children's literature graduate students at San Diego State University, the inaugural issue of The Unjournal of Children's Literature is up and ready for viewing, reading, and responding. Gorgeous to look at, clearly designed in terms of navigation, fascinating in terms of content, this is one elegant web publication.
And from an article on kids, books and reading: "Reading to me is many things and so I think we teachers need to provide many different experiences with reading and books. My fourth grade students read all sorts of material on their own, for themselves, for all sorts of reasons..."

Fairy Tales as the Last Echoes of Pagan Myths...
Seth Lerner, in writing about the orgins and history of fairy tales and folklore, points out that Wilhelm Grimm, at the time the Grimm brothers books were being published in 1812 and 1815, wrote that fairy tales were the "'last echoes of pagan myths'. He (Grimm) went on:"A world of magic is opened up before us, one which still exists among us in secret forests, in underground caves, and in the deepest sea, and it is still visible to children.(Fairy tales) belong to our national poetic heritage..."
Lerner sees even more significance in Fairy tales. He goes on to point out that "what we find inside these secret forests, caves, and seas is not just a poetic heritage, but a personal one as well. For fairy tales are full of families, full of parents who bequeth a sense of self to children, full of ancestors and heirs whose lives play out, in little, the life of a nation from childhood to maturity..."
Seth Lerer is Dean of Arts and Humanities and Distinguished Professor of Literature at the University of California at San Diego. The quotes and ideas above are from his informative and insightful book, Children's Literature, A Reader's History from Aesop to Harry Potter

Harry Potter's Textbook...
"J.K. Rowling will write her first movie script for Warner Bros., writing Fantastic Beasts and Where to
Find Them–a film based on Harry Potter's textbook from his school for wizards.
The film is part of a planned series featuring the author of the magical book, Newt Scamander. Rowling published a book by the same name in 2001. She had this comment on her Facebook page:
"Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for seventeen years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world..." Here is the link: JKRowling
Dogs in the Forest...
The forest plays a very important role in the Planet Of The Dogs Series. Here is an excerpt from Castle In The Mist...
"The dogs continued to lead the soldiers deeper into the woods. Soon, it began to snow, slowly at first, and then, the wind increased and the snow was everywhere. It became very difficult to see very far. The leader of the soldiers told his men that they were to follow him. They were returning to the castle.
They started walking through the snow when one of the men, who was an experienced forest guide, said to the leader, "With respect sir, but I don't think we are going in the right direction." The leader was about to answer him when howling started. It seemed to come from all directions. Then the leader spoke, "You will follow me, I am certain that this is the way." They continued on through the swirling snow, unable to see, and surrounded by howling dogs..."
Here is an excert from a review:"Do you think it is possible for dogs to stop war? Author Robert J. McCarty has created a charming fantasy-allegory that can be read and understood on at least two different levels…a story about dogs who come from another planet to help people on earth. But under the surface are the important messages of friendship, love, loyalty, and how to overcome evil with good…Castle In The Mist will keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next.
Wayne Walker reviewing Castle in the Mist for Stories for Children Magazine, the Home School Book Review and the Home School Buzz wrote:
The Canadian Service Dog Foundation trains and provides service dogs for a wide variety of human needs and services. They provide a wide range of vital services,,,ten major humanitarian objectives are listed on their website. Here are the first two:

A Dog Health Update: here are excerpts from an article on Giardiasis – Parasitic Diarrhea in Dogs, Cats and Humans...The microscopic parasites known as Giardiasis are the most common intestinal parasites to be found in humans, dogs and cats. A protozoan parasite infection, it is the cause of a very serious diarrheal illness in the intestinal areas, known to be highly contagious but not lethal. However, it is a parasite that can be transferred across species — from person-to-person or animal-to-person... The most popular locations for this parasite are on surfaces or within soil and food.However, drinking water and recreational water that has been contaminated with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals are the most common methods of transmission. This includes untreated or improperly treated water from lakes, streams, or wells...

Green Eggs and E-Books? Thank You, Sam-I-Am By Julie Bosman
Here are excerpts from Julie Bosman's article...
"Dr. Seuss books, those whimsical, mischievous, irresistibly rhymey stories that have been passed down in print to generations of readers, are finally catching up with digital publishing...
The Dr. Seuss canon will be released in e-book format for the first time, beginning later this month, his publisher said on Wednesday, an announcement that could nudge more parents and educators to download picture books for children...picture books have lagged far behind(adult fiction) . Several publishers said e-books represent only 2 to 5 percent of their total picture book sales, a number that has scarcely moved in the last several years.
But the release of the Dr. Seuss books, still hugely popular after decades in print, could move that number higher. The e-books will be available on color tablets, including the iPad, Kindle Fire and Nook HD. The first titles to be released, on Sept. 24, include "The Cat in the Hat," "Green Eggs and Ham," "There's a Wocket in My Pocket!" and "The Lorax" (featuring an environmentally conscious character who might be happy about the announcement)."
''The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to seaClick here for information and videos of COROMANDEL , byTrevor Bachman's... Here is an excerpt from their site...A" vibrant musical odyssey for children and adults, Coromandel is a journey through the mind of poet Edward Lear"...playing in New York City in early October..." a fusion of rock, jazz, bluegrass, tango, musical theatre, and classical sounds makes for a diverse, delicious, and sonically satisfying evening. Told with a whimsical simplicity that appeals to children of all ages..."
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money,
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.''
"We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace."

A bronze statue of The Lorax has been stolen from the grounds of the late Dr. Seuss' San Diego estate. The statue reportedly weighs 300 pounds and stands three feet tall.
The San Diego Union Tribune reports that Lark Grey Dimond-Cates, Seuss' step-daughter and the sculptor who created the art piece, wants "very badly to get our little Lorax back home where he belongs." Dimond-Cates made two Lorax statues; one for the San Diego estate and one for the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden (pictured).
In an interview with Reuters, San Diego police lieutenant Andra Brown revealed that the police have not yet determined whether this is a prank or a theft. The police have observed that the "evidence at the scene suggests that the thieves rolled the statue down the hill to an adjacent property, where it was likely loaded onto a waiting vehicle."

#33 The Lorax by Dr. Seuss (1971)
53 points
A timeless classic. I haven't seen the movie, and I don't plan to; it's one of those cases in which the book is perfect just as it is. – Melissa Fox
because "UNLESS someone like you / cares a whole awful lot, / nothing is going to get better. / It's not." - Philip Nel
Previously #83 our little Lorax take an almighty leap and goes up fifty places to #33. Undoubtedly the film helped to give him a bit of a push. That's the way a list like this works sometimes. Classics with recent tie-ins move up faster because of their new status. So here he is, ladies and gentlemen! The little guy who starred in a made-for-TV movie that I saw when I was eight and have been effectively traumatized by ever since. If I'm a good environmentalist, it's because The Lorax made me so. Violently.
Basic plot: The Once-ler moves to town, takes advantage of all the natural resources he can get his grubby hands on (and the guy is mostly hands) and ignores the pleas of The Lorax to stop before it's too late. Too late it becomes and The Lorax takes off for greener pastures. Hope then resides in a small boy and the single seed of a Truffula Tree that The Once-ler has saved in spite of everything.
Said School Library Journal, "The big, colorful pictures and the fun images, word plays and rhymes make this an amusing exposition of the ecology crisis."
So the recent movie . . . I haven't seen it myself, though I was a little perturbed that none of the commercials showed anything closely resembling pollution in them. Even more disturbing? A commercial that may well be remembered as the most ironic children's literature/movie tie-in of all time.
I hate to say it, but give me that old creepy hand drawn version any day of the week.
And I'd show you the pretty Lorax statue but . . . well . . .

As I'm sure many of you heard Jan Berenstain, half of The Berenstain Bears, passed away recently. The Gothamist called us up at NYPL and wondered if we had any Berenstain goodies in our collection. We don't but we knew who did. You can read their obit here. The SLJ obit is also well worth seeing since they managed to work in that crazy What Dr. Freud Didn't Tell You book the Berenstains worked on years ago and full credit to Leila at bookshelves of doom for discovering THAT gem. In fact, Leila has posted what may be the cutest picture of the Berenstain humans I've ever seen. A-dor-able.
- Meanwhile the good folks at TimeOut Kids New York gave me an impossible challenge: Come up with the Top 50 Best Books for Kids. And while I'm at it, balance the classics with some contemporary stuff. Just to be cheeky I added some nonfiction, poetry, graphic novels and works by people of color. The result is a list you will enjoy but not entirely agree with. I think that that's sort of the point, don't you? Everyone has their own list. This one's mine.
- Let me just put it this way: If I were in the publishing business and I saw this (created by the hugely talented Kate Beaton of Hark, A Vagrant) I would run, not walk, to the nearest cell phone and put in a call with her agent. Stat.
- I think we've all seen at least one dead-to-irony Lorax ad by this point, yes? Seems to me that about the time you have a Lorax shilling for SUVs it's time to throw in the towel. Or, at the very least, to try to wrest the Seuss rights from the widow (fat chance). And we thought the Cat in the Hat movie was the low point! Ha! Rocco Staino translates his disgust into a Huffington Post piece that speculates on what other famous children's book characters might want to get some lucrative corporate sponsorship going.
- I like illustrator Scott Campbell anyway but when I saw him illustrate the cast of one of my favorite movies, that just clinched it. Check it out. The man does a darn good Elijah Wood.
- Re: Hunger Games, I only advise you to look at Capitol Couture if you have a couple hours to kill. Darn thing sucked me in and was mighty reluctant to let me go. Had to break out the pruning shears to make my escape. True story. Thanks to Marci for the link.
That's an impressive list of 50 books. Of course you can't fit every great book into a list of 50, but instead you have a list of 50 REALLY GREAT BOOKS. Just reading it is an endless smile of "of course! Definitely! That one, too! Yes!" It's a tough job, but you did it marvelously!
Great Time Out list, essentially impossible task — but yep, you got picture and chapter books, plenty of economic/racial/gender/stylistic diversity. Love the comments: "No Oz? Bad list." Well thank you for playing, sir.
If you hear that Colbert is donating his children's book sales to Donor's Choose, will you let me know? (That goes for anyone who hears anything!)
And thanks for the shout-out! I'm OBSESSED with Tom Seidmann-Freud.
So happy you included Anna Hibiscus!
Your 50 list …
I'm such a sap about kidlit, lists like this make me cry … with happiness, nostalgia, you name it. I was especially pleased to see HOLES (so darn clever I still wonder how Sachar managed to weave those brilliant plots so beautifully together)and LILLY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE (Why this sweet little story speaks to me with every read, I'm not quite sure. Is it the honesty of this simple story? Is it the awesomeness of Mr. Slinger? Is it that we all have a little Lilly inside?) on the list. Okay, don't even get me going on ARE YOU MY MOTHER? Enough said.
What a great list! And you included The Arrival–perfect.
Very nice list, Betsy! And I'm proud to say I've read all but three. You gave it nice variety and carried off well what must have been a daunting task. My list would have been different, but I really like yours!

Fun Fact: Remember that Re-Seussification Project I posted? And how it happened to come out the day before the birthday of the good doctor himself? Total coincidence. I had no idea. At the same time The Lorax has come out in theaters. Know how I know? Because every other minute there's an ad on my television featuring the Lorax. Seems he'll sell anything these days. Chaps my hide. Chaps Stephen Colbert's too, I'm happy to report.
Full credit to this next link. This compilation of Judy Blume pop culture references has earned my respect, partly because it included the two I already knew of (Sawyer reading her book on LOST and the Saturday Night Live skit). Very fun to watch.
Which, naturally, leads to this. And I suppose it isn't workplace appropriate. But it is sweet.
That was recorded almost half a year ago. I assume they've met by now, yes? I mean, she is married to a Newbery winner.
I think this is applicable to our usual subject matter today. After all, I suspect that there are a few authors out there for kids that still use typewriters. I used one as recently as 2006 in conjunction with my job. Plus this is a great little piece.
Thanks to Playing By the Book for the link.
I've shown the video of Christopher Walken reading The Three Little Pigs before. This one, though, is new to me. We never see him who I'm not wholly convinced it's actually him. It's a possibility, though. A distinct possibility.
Thanks again to Playing By the Book for the link.
And finally, for our off-topic video, what can I say?
Baby otters.
Thanks to Dan McCoy for the link.

Illumination Entertainment's The Lorax exceeded expectations and debuted in first place with a stunning $70.2 million last weekend. That places it in eighth place for all-time biggest openings for an animated film, and fourth-best for a non-sequel animated film. The success of the film validates the producer-driven approach to animated filmmaking taken by Illumination head Chris Meledandri, who exercises tight control over the casting, writing and creative direction of his films. It's a page straight of Jeffrey Katzenberg's DreamWorks playbook and, for better or worse, Meledandri is proving that it can work for producers without the initials JK.
Meanwhile, in its third weekend, Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty grabbed $1.5 million from 1,431 US theaters. The film landed in 14th place, but had the lowest per-theater average of any film in the top 20. Its US total now stands at $16.8 million.

If you're gonna crap all over The Lorax, you might need this:
The Lorax became the number #1 movie in the country last weekend, and part of that success was establishing merchandising tie-ins with numerous licensees. But here's one even last year's Winnie The Pooh (a more appropriate match) didn't think of. Apparently the 7th Generation company is selling all sorts of eco-friendly Lorax products including these "Lorax-approved" baby diapers. For those Seuss collectors who have to have everything, you better hurry: they are a limited edition – and yeah, images of the little orange Danny Devito voiced creature are printed on the tab fastener of the diaper.

An animated film led the US box office for the second week in a row: Illumination Entertainment's The Lorax dropped 44% from its first week for an estimated earning of $39.1 million. Its two-week total now stands at $122 million, making it the top grossing film of the year to date. It is currently pacing $3.5 million ahead of Illumination's biggest hit Despicable Me, which went on to earn $251.5 million domestically.
This weekend also saw the debut of John Carter, the first live-action feature from Pixar director Andrew Stanton (WALL·E, Finding Nemo). The megabudget sci-fi film, with a reported production cost of $200-300 million and marketing costs of $100 million, was positioned as Disney's next "tentpole" property, along the lines of the Pirates of the Carribean franchise. It opened weakly, as expected by most industry observers as well as the Disney studio itself, with an estimated $30.6 million, on a par with the opening for Disney's Prince of Persia, which opened with $30.1 million. It trailed the debut of last year's sci-fi Cowboys & Aliens which opened with $36.4 million. The film's saving grace may be its overseas performance, where it has opened powerfully, especially in Russia, and has already racked up over $70 million.
One can't even begin to imagine the pressure that Stanton is under, but he hasn't been particularly graceful in dealing with the film's critical reception. In interviews, Stanton has been defensive about the film's budget, and over the weekend, he wrote an oddly worded tweet that blamed moviegoers as "jaded" if they didn't enjoy his film:
Studio Ghibli's The Secret World of Arrietty added an extra $402,000 boosting its US total to $17.6 million. It is the fourth highest-grossing anime film ever released in the US, behind only Pokemon: The First Movie, Pokemon: The Movie 2000, and Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie.

In a rare trifecta, animation artists ruled the top three spots at the box office this weekend. The number one spot, with an estimated $35 million, belonged to the TV adaptation of 21 Jump Street. It heralded the live-action feature directing debut of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who were the co-creators of MTV/Teletoon's Clone High and the directors of Sony's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Second place went to Illumination Entetainment's The Lorax which earned an estimated $22.8M in its third weekend, pushing its total to a robus $158.4M. Rounding out the top three was Andrew Stanton's John Carter, which dropped 55% from its first weekend to an estimated $13.5M. The Disney flop's two-week total is $53.2M and is headed to a final domestic tally of $90-100M.

JacketFlap tags: The Lorax, Fred Meyer, Dr. Seuss, toddler, Downtown Plaza Park, reading, Add a tag
Years ago, I discovered Fred Meyer, a giant everything-in-one-place store similar to Super Walmart but with less evil and awesome childcare. A few years later, the single California store in a predominantly Northwestern chain closed its doors. The mammoth building sat empty, in view of the freeway, forever while rumors swirled about its future. And then one day I came over a rise on the off-ramp and saw that the entire building had been leveled overnight. I was swept by nausea as I absorbed the magnitude of such obscene waste. Demolishing a ten year-old, up-to-code building merely because new commercial tenants (a Lowe's built virtually in the footprint of the bulldozed warehouse) want something specific enraged me. I was angry for years. I'm still angry. I experienced a similar sucker-punch moment the first time I drove past Chico's old Downtown Plaza Park and saw it laid bare in the name of progress, raped of all the beautiful trees allegedly so "diseased" they had to be removed for public safety but healthy enough to be replanted on the property of the developer. I happen to unexpectedly like the metropolitan feel of the new plaza, but it took me weeks to picture the gaping hole where the gazebo had been without tearing up. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is not subtle. I guess the narrative master wanted the message to get through loud and clear: Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Actor Danny DeVito will voice an orange environmentalist in an animated adaptation of Dr. Seuss' beloved book, The Lorax. The film joins a long list of Seuss adaptations: The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and Horton Hears a Who.
Zac Efron will play the human hero, Ted (named after Theodore Seuss Geisel), and Betty White will play his grandmother. The two villains will be voiced by Ed Helms and Rob Riggle. Helms will play Once-ler while Riggle will voice a new villainous creation.
The film will be shot in 3-D and release is tentatively set for 2012. The video embedded above shows a clip from the animated musical television special of The Lorax developed by CBS back in 1972.

Today is the anniversary of Dr. Seuss' birthday--and Read Across America Day. How are you celebrating? Last year we made green eggs benedict. Tonight I think I'll made this green egg and ham frittata, from Eating Well magazine. My kids have been asking me to take them to the bookstore or library. I have been putting it off as I've been in the midst of a couple of freelance jobs but . . . given that today is Read Across America Day it would be a shame not to go, don't you think?
I'll be back later in the week to with some more Seussian goodness. Until then, please enjoy my other Dr. Seuss-related posts:

Someone on the Chinese video site Sina posted this work-in-progress trailer for The Lorax from Illumination Entertainment, whose earlier films were Despicable Me and Hop. Some shots are incomplete and unfinished, but it's worth a look:
The Lorax, which is slated to open March 2nd, 2012, is directed by Chris Renaud and Kyle Balda. It's the second Seuss adapation for Illumination founder Chris Meledandri, who previously produced Horton Hears a Who! while running 20th Century Fox Animation. Danny DeVito voices the Lorax, and Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Ed Helms and Betty White provide additional voices.

What am I reading now? Luka and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie
Have you heard? The Lorax is on his way. On Friday, March 2, 2012, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures will be unveiling their adaptation of Dr. Seuss' environmental manifesto.
The leap from picture book to silver screen couldn't come at a more opportune moment. We're at a point in time where the naysayers can no longer claim that the "green movement" is simply a fad that will run its course. Instead, its importance has been solidified in the collective consciousness.
The Lorax is about to send out his call-to-action yet again. If you haven't already sprung into action, isn't it time you did?

Comedian Stephen Colbert gave a sarcastic pitch (written in verse) asking for more: "I'm demanding more branding of Loraxian stuff!" The pitch included suggestions such as Lorax-themed SUV's, oil drills and McDonald's meals.

It's a Seuss trifecta today, as we celebrate Dr. Seuss' 108th birthday, kick off Read Across America, and The Lorax (one of my all-time favorite Seuss stories) opens on the big screen.
15 years ago, the National Education Association (NEA) created Read Across America to celebrate reading and provide inspiration for kids of all ages to discover the joys of reading. What better date than March 2nd, Dr. Seuss' birthday, to bring kids and books together.
Every year Read Across America gives special emphasis to a classic Seuss title and 2012 is going green with The Lorax. First published in 1971, The Lorax quickly became a classic with an environmental message that was ahead of its time. Now, the original gets a modern twist with a fun new pop-up edition of the book and, of course, the blockbuster movie adaptation. At my house, we've been reading the book and I'm excited to take my daughter to see The Lorax movie, with its star-studded cast and larger-than-life animation--I'm particularly in love with the Truffula trees, fluffy and bright, just as I'd imagined from Dr. Seuss' pages. I may even have to spring for 3-D...
And speaking of pages, let's kick this thing off--grab your kid and a book, tip your hat to a tree, and settle on down to a grand reading spree. Remember, "You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child."
Here are some of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories--which of his books do you love the most? --Seira

The Lorax, anyone? I'll be seeing it an an Asifa-Hollywood screening next week, so I'll reserve judgement. I'm not trying to be negative, but the L.A. Times' Kenneth Turan says "most of it not very good and not in keeping with the spirit of the Seuss original". Claudia Puig disagrees in her 3-stars (out of four) write-up in USA Today, saying "it remains faithful to the spirit of Seuss". A.O. Scott at the NY Times sums it up this way: "The movie is a noisy, useless piece of junk"!
How about you? As usual our talkback posts are open to those who have actually seen the film, in a theatre, and have an opinion, pro or con.

So you check the oil after the bike is warm, wait 10 minutes with it on the center stand, and maintain an oil level at the halfway level in the window, eh?

I picked mine up as slightly used at 2000 miles, I could tell by looking at the tires it had probably been babied. It gulped oil at first, I did a 1700 mile weekend to Ft. Davis and a quart barely got me home. I read this forum and stuck with it ! Miles in the low 34000 range now and I do not have to add between service intervals. I didn't ride it like a maniac but I didn't baby it either. Stick with it .

Try this:
I have been doing this procedure for years before there was a "motoman", and never have had a bike or any vehicle use oil excessively. Did it on the current bike and it uses essentially no oil between changes. I use Amsoil 20W50.
Doug, 2011 R1200RT Polar Metallic
There is no mystery to engine break in and what it doesn't call for is not using the motor.
It is very important to load rings heavily early on. That's low rpm full throttle in higher gears. And to mix it up with a few runs to the limit after a little bit of use
If a motor is still using a bunch of oil at 4K or 6K it probably was babied excessively when new (eg perhaps ridden by a former Harley ridr using similar rpm). The only problem with that is that the final breakin may now take a bunch longer than normal. Only in rare cases will stuff not seat in eventually.
A racers breakin consists of few dyno runs and then bolt it in and have at it..
I typically put in synth at the 600 mile oil change. No significant oil usage on any of the Ks we have had or the '08GS and '12GS. A couple of ounces on a 4600 mile trip out to Oregon and back, both GSes, just recently.
And we just ride them like normal people...no stole it or whatever. 4 to 5 thousand rpm when cruising.
BMW would have you believe that everything that happens to the bike is something you did or didn't do. The truth is that they have more control before you ever get it than you do. I have seen even a K75 use a quart in a thousand miles from new. Eventually it dried up somewhat, but BMW manufactured it that way, not the owner's break-in methods or synth or dino, or whatever.
I am thinking the new water cooled twins will be more consistently "not" oil burners from new.

Jack Hawley MOA and RA #224, KE9UW ("Chuck")
the reason I ask is I recently bought a suzuki outboard motor. It has a breakin routine that is pretty boring, but the dealer says they can download the hours and rpms the motor is run at. Never heard of that on a motorcycle, but it should be easily possible.
I followed max rpms fairly close on my 09 gs, but did a lot of full throttle runs and lot of decelerating with throttle closed. Varied speeds constantly, probably didn't redline it too often but would run up to 5-6 k rpms. Whatever it seems to have worked. The bike just doesn't burn oil!

The club learned of its competition for Sectionals this week and one of the teams was the Dalton Academy Warblers. When Kurt when to spy on them, he quickly met Blaine, an openly gay student who was totally comfortable with his sexuality. He encouraged Kurt to stand up for himself, even when things got very difficult.
Kurt took this advice and fought back against the football-playing brut that always bullied him. When Kurt confronted him in the locker room, the guy kissed Kurt! I didn't see that coming. Turns out, it was Kurt's first kiss.
Elsewhere, thing got awkward when most of the guys admitted they pictured Coach Beiste in unusual scenarios in order to take a break and not get too excited, sexually. When she found this out, courtesy of Will, Beiste wanted to quit. She was humiliated.
But will talked her out of it and said she was beautiful on the inside and outside. He learned she had also never been kissed and gave her a smooch.
Finally, Puck returned and bonded with Artie, solely to fill his community service obligations. But he didn't treat Artie very well, as you can tell the theme here is bullying. In the end, though, Artie forgave Puck for being a jerk and said he's tutor him in math.

President Reagan's proposal to eliminate farm subsidies could mean huge budget savings in the European Community and the United States, where nearly $300 billion has been spent in the last decade on price and income supports, Agriculture Department analysts said.
The proposal was formally presented last week to the 93-country General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in Geneva.A new analysis of U.S. and EC agriculture shows that total spending for farm price and income supports recently is averaging more than $50 billion a year, up from less than $12 billion a year in 1977.
Including a forecast for 1987, U.S. spending during the period totals about $126 billion, compared with $170.1 billion for 10 countries of the EC, which does not include the two most recent bloc members, Portugal and Spain.
The 10 are: Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, United Kingdom and West Germany.
The report said U.S. farm spending led the EC in only three years: 1983, 1985 and 1986. Last year was a record for both, with U.S. outlays rising to $25.8 billion and the EC's to $21.8 billion. In 1987, however, the EC is expected to regain the lead, with spending estimated at $26.2 billion, compared with a U.S. forecast of $25.3 billion.
"About two-thirds of U.S. expenditures are on grains, with an additional 9 percent on dairy," the report said. "In contrast, expenditures on grains were originally budgeted to account for about 15 percent of CAP (the EC's Common Agricultural Policy) expenditures in 1986, with two-thirds of that cost going for export refunds."
Beef and dairy subsidies accounted for almost 40 percent of the CAP expenditure's last year, the report said.
The analysis was prepared by the Economic Research Service as a staff report: "A Comparison of Agriculture in the United States and the EC." It was written by agency economists Mark Newman, Tom Fulton and Lewrene Glaser.
"One U.S. objective in current GATT negotiations is to promote liberalization of international trade," the report said. "According to (agency) analysis, there are no 'free traders' among the world's agricultural trading countries."
The report said a study of the protection afforded U.S. and EC farmers during the period of 1979-84 showed that overall protection was greater in Europe but was also important in the United States.
Estimates of "producer subsidy equivalents" (called PSEs) were developed to compare subsidy levels in selected countries. The PSEs are expressed as a percentage showing roughly what share of farmers' cash receipts come from subsidies.
For example, a PSE of 25 percent means the value of government assistance to farmers was found to equal one-fourth of their cash receipts. The heavier the subsidy, the higher the percentage.
The report said that during 1982-84, protection of sugar, wheat, corn and dairy producers was higher in the United States, while protection of beef and soybean producers was stronger in the EC.
When the PSEs for various commodities were averaged together, the overall level of protection of farmers through subsidies, import restrictions and other devices was greater in the EC than in the United States.
Overall, the average PSE for all commodities produced by farmers in the EC - weighted by values of production - was 31 percent in 1982-84, compared with 22 percent in the United States.

ALBANY, N.Y. — A national archaeology preservation organization has acquired an upstate New York property that was home to a Colonial-era blockhouse built to guard Britain's largest North American fortification during the French and Indian War.
Andy Stout, eastern regional director for the Albuquerque, N.M.-based Archaeological Conservancy, said Monday that the nonprofit group recently closed on the purchase of 12 acres just outside Fort Edward, on the Hudson River 45 miles north of Albany.
The property on a wooded hill in the town of Moreau, across the river in neighboring Saratoga County, was the site of the Royal Blockhouse, built in 1758. The large wooden structure was part of a sprawling British and provincial American military complex that included Fort Edward and nearby Rogers Island.
Stout said the blockhouse property is unique among U.S. archaeological sites because it was part of England's largest fortification in North America during the war the English and French fought from 1755-63 for control of the continent. The complex included outer defenses such as blockhouses, Fort Edward itself, and Rogers Island, the base camp for the famed Rogers' Rangers, American frontiersmen who served as scouts for the regular British army.
Rogers Island is considered the birthplace of today's U.S. Army Rangers.
"These are the locations where America played out," Stout said.
Amateur archaeologists and relic hunters had dug at the site for years, but professional archaeologists have also conducted excavations there, and the artifacts they uncovered are being turned over the New York State Museum this week, Stout said.
"It's not often you get the chance to acquire a site and a collection from it," he said.
There are no immediate plans for any more digs, but archaeologists can apply to the conservancy to conduct excavations at its properties, Stout said.
The Royal Blockhouse was one of the two largest built by the British in the colonies during the French and Indian War, according to David Starbuck, a professor at New Hampshire's Plymouth State University who has led archaeological digs at 18th-century military sites in the Fort Edward and Lake George areas.
Contemporary British maps and plans of Fort Edward include the Royal Blockhouse, described as three stories tall and 90 feet long on each of four sides, with a cellar, and surrounded by a dry moat. Typical blockhouses were two stories and no more than 30 feet long to a side, Starbuck said. Built on a hill with a commanding view of the upper Hudson Valley, the Royal Blockhouse was armed with several cannon and garrisoned by about 200 redcoats and other soldiers, he said.
Stout said the preservation group paid $90,000 for the Royal Blockhouse property, with about half of it coming in a grant from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The organization had previously purchased 5 acres adjoining the site. The additional 12 acres purchased by the organization this fall was formerly owned by Long Island businessman and Rogers Rangers buff Frank Nastasi, who died in 2007.
Nastasi's son, Anthony, had inherited the blockhouse site, along with more than 30 acres his father owned on Rogers Island. The state had intended to buy the island property and turn it into a public park, but backed out because of budget problems. The village and town of Fort Edward have applied for a state grant to purchase the 34-acre island parcel.
The Royal Blockhouse is considered a potentially key component in the Fort Edward area's plans to turn its many 18th-century historical resources into tourist dollars.
The Archaeology Conservancy owns more than 400 sites in 41 states, including 13 across New York. The upstate properties include 16th- and 17th-century Iroquois village sites outside Syracuse and Buffalo.—Copyright 2011 Associated Press

Commuters urged to stay the course during I-5 construction
As the big Interstate 5 construction project enters its third weekday, transportation officials are hoping commuters will avoid what seems...
Seattle Times transportation reporter
As the big Interstate 5 construction project enters its third weekday, transportation officials are hoping commuters will avoid what seems like a temptingly clear freeway.
"We need drivers to stay the course, or we'll be in for a very slow commute," said Mark Leth, traffic engineer for the state Department of Transportation (DOT), which is repairing and resurfacing a mile of the northbound freeway at South Spokane Street.
Back in May 2001, when the DOT repaved northbound I-5 at Northeast Ravenna Boulevard, it was on the third day that traffic jams arrived, after two days of ease. "The backups were several miles at that point," Leth said.
Contractors this week are continuing to repave I-5 just south of downtown, where two northbound lanes are closed.
Traffic increased Tuesday but remained mild, as thousands of people prevented gridlock by staying at home, riding transit or taking different routes.
There were 40 percent fewer vehicles than normal traveling through the work zone, Leth said.
A one-mile slowdown occurred about 6:30 a.m., but it soon dissolved. At the First Avenue South Bridge, a main alternative, traffic became heavy enough that city workers retimed the signals nearby to stay green longer going north. The heaviest traffic was on Interstate 405 through Renton.
Sounder commuter trains — which carried 6,719 South End riders Monday morning — served 5,820 riders Tuesday, still above normal levels, spokeswoman Linda Robson said.
More than a third are crowding into the early train, which leaves Tacoma at 5:45 a.m. "If they find it uncomfortable, or have the opportunity to take a later train, that's an option commuters might want to explore," Robson said.
King County Metro Transit reported 300 to 400 more riders than the usual 7,300 on its South End express buses Tuesday morning. In West Seattle, the Elliott Bay Water Taxi morning ridership declined from 587 on Monday to 401 on Tuesday, still far more than usual.
Washington State Ferries reported normal boat loads across Puget Sound.
Officials at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport announced last week that someone at the airport would help travelers share taxi rides to help with what was expected to be higher-than-normal fares through the construction zone. But because the slowdowns weren't happening, the airport plan was scrapped, an airport official said Tuesday.
A couple of events may complicate the drive later this week:
• This afternoon, the Seattle Mariners play a 1:35 home game — "Grand Slam Family Pack Day" — against the Minnesota Twins.
• By early Friday, an additional lane is expected to close, as construction moves to its next phase. Even at Tuesday's low volumes, backups are certain if a third lane is closed, Leth said. Fortunately, there is still plenty of room on detour routes, he said.
However, project engineer Paul Johnson said rain could delay the work, which is now ahead of schedule. Crews need a dry surface to paint temporary lane stripes, and to apply new polyester-concrete pavement. "If there's a little bit of rain, it's not going to hamper us," he said. "But if there's a downpour, there could be a problem."

Perdue Boosts Pre-K
Two thousand more at-risk kids will be able to attend pre-kindergarten classes, starting in March. Governor Bev Perdue made the announcement today at a pre-school in Raleigh. Dave DeWitt reports.
Dave DeWitt: The state funds about one-third of the at-risk kids who qualify for pre-kindergarten. Last year, Superior Court Judge Howard Manning said that was illegal, and directed the legislature to fund all eligible children.
That hasn't happened, and the case is likely to be heard by the state supreme court. In the meantime, Perdue says she's been monitoring the available funding, and it will be possible to send two thousand more kids to pre-K between mid-March and August, when kindergarten starts. She spoke during a news conference broadcast on WRAL.
Bev Perdue: That 5-month academic experience I'm told by people who are experts in the field, will give them enough of a start to really be on level with children coming from an entire year's program.
The $9.3 million is one-time funding and comes from the state's child-care subsidy.

A reader's guide to the president's Tuesday speech on the economy
Combining the Occupy movement's rhetoric with a nod to American populism, President Obama's economic address Tuesday in Osawatomie, Kansas, reads like a history lesson, a campaign platform, and a policy primer all wrapped into one.
Better than most of his addresses to date, this speech drew a bright line between the White House and Republicans, including the GOP presidential nominees, and aligned the administration with the broader interests of the Occupy Wall Street movement by identifying income inequality as the economy's chief moral failure.
Consider this a reader's guide to the speech's biggest points, with analysis on how they stand up to facts, and where they fit in the landscape of the public debate.
The Fundamental Issue: A Broken Bargain
For most Americans, the basic bargain that made this country great has eroded. Long before the recession hit, hard work stopped paying off for too many people. Fewer and fewer of the folks who contributed to the success of our economy actually benefitted from that success.
The erosion of a "basic bargain" is an apt frame for seeing the motivations behind the both Tea Party and Occupy movement. These sweeping protests did not come out of nowhere. Middle class tensions have rumbled for years before the recession, as globalization and technology reduced opportunities for the middle class (especially for middle class men) and health care costs stripped more from our compensation, leaving workers with less to take home to their families. Each side has its own boogeyman. The Tea Party (largely) blames Washington and Obama. The Occupy protesters (largely) blame the 1 percent and the financial sector. I happen to think it's more complicated, and that there are in fact too many culprits to blame for us to march against them all at the same time. But my opinion doesn't really matter insofar as we're identifying the origins of American rage. The concept of a broken bargain hits it on the head.
Why the Economy Still Feels Broken
Everyone else struggled with costs that were growing and paychecks that weren't - and too many families found themselves racking up more and more debt just to keep up. For many years, credit cards and home equity loans papered over the harsh realities of this new economy. But in 2008, the house of cards collapsed.
Another substantively correct section. Necessities like health care, college, housing, and energy did indeed get more expensive in the last decade and paychecks weren't keeping up. Household climbed above 120 percent of income. What Americans couldn't bring home from work, they borrowed. Credit made the 2000s feel better. The credit crunch has made the Obama years feel worse.
What We're Debating Now: Who Pays First?
Most immediately, we need to extend a payroll tax cut that's set to expire at the end of this month. If we don't do that, 160 million Americans will see their taxes go up by an average of $1,000, and it would badly weaken our recovery.
But in the long term, we have to rethink our tax system more fundamentally. We have to ask ourselves: Do we want to make the investments we need in things like education, and research, and high-tech manufacturing? Or do we want to keep in place the tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans in our country? Because we can't afford to do both. That's not politics. That's just math.
"That's just math," is the president's new slogan for raising taxes on the wealthy. He's half right. In the long term, we have to raise taxes on more than the top two percent. Otherwise, sensible deficit reduction (in the rage of $4 trillion over ten years) will come down in draconian fashion on domestic investment and entitlements. That, too, is just math.
