“Kidlit mashups” in 1999 “Nickelodeon” Magazine

Upon seeing my kidlit mashups, Chris Duffy, my friend and a former editor of Nickelodeon Magazine, recalled a similar piece that ran in Nick Mag 15 years ago (two years before I began writing for the magazine).

He was kind enough to track it down, scan it up, and zip it over.

It was not based on wordplay like mine, but it did combine picture books with novels like mine. Mine features five of the same books but none of the same mashups.
