Hello
nypl:
Thank you Jan Berenstain for 50 years of children’s literature! In honor of the great author who passed away last week, today’s flashback Friday honors our collective childhood memories with one of our favorite Berenstain Bears books, Big Bear, Small Bear.
You will be missed Mother Bear!

Lorax stars Zac Efron and Danny DeVito visited the New York Public Library today for the national kickoff of NEA’s Read Across America. In celebration of the event, the two actors read Dr. Seuss’s classic book to a room full of literature lovers, both large and small. Everyone had a fantastic time and take a look at those Truffula trees!
Fantastic news! Blossom, the brave little dog who suffered horrific burns to her back and side, was adopted into a lovely new home last night! Good luck gorgeous girl!
Some delicious comments about KRudd in The Age today
DESPITE his strong belief to the contrary, Kevin Rudd is not God’s gift to the Australian people.

KEVIN Rudd, you prima donna! What a grand entrance it will be back to Australia.
Ian Anderson, Ascot Vale
Leadership spill
GOOD grief. A press conference in Washington, in the middle of the night, to resign as a minister in the Australian government. Delusions of grandeur?
Maureen Goldie, Blackwood, SA
THE Napoleonic tendencies of Krudd beggar belief. New Kevin indeed.
David McCallum, Trentham
MR RUDD resigns dramatically as part of his devious ploy. Shifty, shifty, shifty.
Paul Murchison, Kingsbury
CLEARLY, Mr Rudd is incapable of putting Australia and his party before his ego.
Katharine Anderson, Prahran
WITH an ego that big, Mr Rudd must have trouble getting a hat to fit.
Robert Graham, Yarragon
HOW can a faceless man publicly attack Mr Rudd’s integrity?
Jane Edwards, Peterhead, SA
SIMON Crean got the ball rolling that eventually forced Mr Rudd to resign. The faceless men didn’t really have to do much.
John Kirkpatrick, Ballarat
YOU know, Kevin, sometimes it’s not all about you.
Pip Denton, Guildford, NSW
WHO told Kevin Rudd that he’s popular?
Patsy Sanaghan, Rippleside
TALK about a rudderless government.
Brian Morley, Nunawading
OSCAR nominations have closed? Damn. For once, Kevin would have got my vote.
Barbara Abell, North Ringwood
ALL the hullabaloo about Mr Rudd’s language should be put in context. Jessica Rudd is reported tweeting her father, ”Effing proud of you, Dad” (The Age, 23/2). This language is just Rudd effing family speak!
Peter Maher, Mont Albert
KEV’S right on two counts: it is a soap opera, and he will not be part of it, not for long anyway.
Doug Perry, Mount Martha
HAS anyone noticed that this is playing out just like a great big version of Survivor? Can’t wait for the next exciting episode!
David Prior, Wheelers Hill
HANDS up all those who want Tony Abbott as prime minster. Sadly, that’s what Julia and Kevin are about to deliver.
John Bye, Elwood
A THREE-year stint by Tony Abbott as prime minister is the only thing that will save the Labor Party from political oblivion.
Peter Watts, Finley, NSW
PRIME minister Abbott. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Ian Oshlack, Guildford
