I hate to say it, but I feel genuinely underwhelmed by Irene Latham and Charles Waters' Can I Touch Your Hair?: Poems of Race, Mistakes, and Friendship. The book is illustrated by Sean Qualls and Selina Alko, though the only image I really ever saw was the cover since I got this book in audio…

I never thought I'd see the day where Tom and Jerry entered a meme contest. If you're anything like me, you probably grew up on Tom and Jerry.

"Seeing is believing." It genuinely took me a while to figure out just what it was that I couldn't stand about Chris Van Allsburg's The Polar Express. And in truth, it wasn't the fact that this doesn't really work as an engaging children's book--though that was annoying--nor is it the complete uselessness of the main…
