Here’s a bit of fun
We’ve tweeted about the new reading site launched by the Library of Congress at the recent National Book Festival held in Washington. But we haven’t specifically mentioned the joint twelve-month project of the Center for the Book and the National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance.
The Exquisite Corpse is named after that old game where someone starts a story on a sheet of paper, folds it over and hands it to the next person to write the next bit. You never quite know what the result will be.
This online story started with the contribution by Jon Scieszka, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature (and is illustrated by Chris van Dusen) and now the next part is online – Katherine Paterson’s chapter, illustrated by James Ransome. KateDiCamillo and Calef Brown come next, with a new chapter every two weeks.
