More entertaining than SLJ's Battle of the Kids' Books...

...is Roger Sutton in the Peanut Gallery.

Yes, indeed. I've been meh about the BoB for the last couple of years because the judges' critical essays were dull, dull, dull. And often wishy-washy. Yay for Roger Sutton!

I've been enjoying the BoB well enough, but I do agree that there's not so much critical in the judges' criticism -- I enjoy the ToB much more for that aspect of the March Madness fun. (One year -- maybe even last year? -- one of the ToB judges hated BOTH assigned books so much that s/he carried them out to the front porch, threw them both as far as s/he could, and picked the one that flew the furthest as the winner. Heh.)
