Interview with Corey R. Tabor, MEL FELL
One day, when Mama was away, Mel decided it was time to learn to fly. She had been in the nest for long enough. She was scared, but that wasn't going to stop her.

MEL FELL

Can you tell me the origin story behind Mel Fell? CT: "I had the idea for Mel Fell at Green Lake Park in Seattle. I was sitting on a bench by the lake, looking up at a tree growing by the water and wondering about all the animals who called the tree home. I thought it would be fun to make a vertical picture book where you flip up and down the tree, seeing all the different animals, as you turn the pages. I knew I needed a character who would give the reader a reason to travel up and down the tree (a good idea for a picture book isn’t worth much if you don’t have a story to go with it) and that’s how I thought up Mel, the bold little bird ready to leap from her nest."
What have been your favorite picture books of 2021? "I absolutely love The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess by Tom Gauld. And On the Day the Horse Got Out by Audrey Helen Weber is just as great as its title."
What do you love reading to your son? "My wife and I have a three-year-old and he loves picture books. When’s My Birthday? by Julie Fogliano and Christian Robinson is a favorite. (I’ll happily read anything by Julie Fogliano and/or Christian Robinson.) We also read a lot of Taro Gomi, one of my all-time favorite picture book makers. Another favorite is I Know a Lot of Things by Ann and Paul Rand which is always fun to read aloud. I’ve learned to appreciate great read-alouds a lot more since having a kid."
What contemporary picture books do you hope will become the classics of the future? "Du Iz Tak? by Carson Ellis, Small in the City by Sydney Smith, This is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen, A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Philip and Erin Stead, to name just a few of many."
What would be on your list of 100 best picture books of all time? "I’d have a hard time narrowing it down to 100. And it would probably be a different list from one day to the next. But a few books that would always be near the top are The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel, and Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni."
trang chủ uu88 so với vài trang mình từng vào trước đó thì nhìn đỡ lộn xộn hơn, nên mình chỉ lướt nhanh vài phút là nắm được cách họ chia nội dung. Mình thích kiểu trình bày thẳng, kéo xuống là thấy các khối rõ ràng, không phải đoán chỗ nào quan trọng chỗ nào phụ (đỡ mất thời gian). Có mục PHÁ GẠCH làm nổi bật vừa đủ nên dễ nhận ra ngay, bấm vào thì phần hiển thị gọn gàng, chữ không bị nhồi nhét. Menu đặt chỗ dễ thấy nên chuyển qua lại mượt, mình dùng trên máy tính thấy ổn. Điểm mình nhớ nhất là trong PHÁ GẠCH họ ghi sẵn hướng dẫn điều khiển…

Ban đầu mình không quá quan tâm đến quảng cáo, nhưng nếu nội dung được viết như kiểu này thì vẫn khá dễ đọc. Sc88 David chơi ko đẹp được nhắc đến một cách hợp lý, có kèm trải nghiệm thực tế nên không tạo cảm giác gượng ép. Tổng thể bài viết rõ ràng, dễ hiểu và không bị “quảng cáo quá đà”, nên đọc khá thoải mái.
I thought Drift Boss would be another casual driving game, but thedriftboss surprised me. Controlling the car with just one button sounds easy until you realize every turn requires perfect precision. It's challenging in the best possible way.
