Book Reviews
Apparently children's librarians of ~60 years ago were not as enthusiastic about cats as all of the internet is today. I bet that kitten who wouldn't wash his face ruined it for everyone. #reviewsontues #nypl

Jingle
The Teddy Bears' Picnic, by Jimmy Kennedy (1987) #reviewsontues #nypl "If you are Of a Certain Age, you will no doubt have fond memories of a certain radio program which used this jingle as it's theme and will therefore be able to sing at least the first part."

Thats The Way
"That's the Way It Is, Amigo", by Hila Colman. "Moralizing is thinly disguised in this pallid little story of unconvincing plot, stock characters, and lusterless local color." That's the way it is, Amigo. You're like a sad rainbow with no shimmer. #reviewsontues #nypl

Calorie Chart
More Fun
"[This book] has the sparsest and strangest calorie chart I ever saw." Try and find a more interesting hyperbolic sentence than in today's #reviewsontues, we dare you. #nypl

Apparently the witches sabbath towards the end of this "ladies" novel is pretty grotesque. #reviewsontues #nypl
The Way Back
All The Way
This is the oldest #reviewsontues we've found so far—from all the way back in 1907! This handwriting is hard though. We'll give you our best guess, but please leave your interpretations in the comments! "Very poor unsympathetic + uninteresting short sentences. Very mechanically put together." #nypl
