I loved reading this letter sent by some students to the Editor of the NY TIMES in reference to that now infamous article "Picture Books No Longer a Staple for Children" (Oct. 2010) - which I, and many other bloggers, posted about. This was no ordinary letter, but a 15-ft. scroll, delivered in a tube. (Click HERE to see the NY TIMES Opinion Pages, April 13, 2011.)
