Friday Fun: Youth Literature . . . in Peeps

Since 2007, the Washington Post has sponsored Peeps Show, a contest to create a diorama featuring Peeps, those fascinating, beyond-nature-or-science marshmallow creatures.  Why not take a look at those entries that draw their inspiration from books for children?
