ATTENTION HOT MEN OF CHILDREN'S LITERATURE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

This evening I attended a delightful child_lit dinner with a whole

host of remarkably interesting people. While there, it came to my

attention that one of my honorary Hot Men of Children's Literature was

less than pleased with his inclusion on my list. As it happens, he

found it offensive. Apparently he was under the impression that I was

making fun of him as he is a humble fellow that does not find himself

1. Nobody has to be a Hot Man of Children's Literature. If the honor

It's not like I'm getting paid for this stuff.

2. No man has ever appeared on the list that I do not actually

consider to be hot. There are different levels of attraction at

work here. You have your Kadir Nelsons and your Chris Raschkas and

just because these fellows embody different kinds of male hotness,

this does not mean that I value one over another.

3. No man has ever been elected as a joke at his expense. Moreover,

if I've never seen you in person then I'm probably taking your

hotness on faith from some of your fans. Intelligence, talent, and

sheer charm go a long way in this business.

4. If you would like to be removed from the list but have no qualms

electing someone in your place, feel free to do so. The standards
