John Wiley imprint Howell Book House is partnering with The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) on a new series focused on the connection children share with animals. Books in the ASPCA Kids imprint will be 8" by 8" paperbacks with 40 color photos and priced at $12.99 each. The first books will debut in March 2009. The first titles, aimed at children aged nine to 12, will be Amazing Pet Tricks, Kids Making a Difference for Animals, Animals at Work and Having Fun with Your Dog. Wiley publisher Cynthia Kitchel said the books will be written cooperatively by ASPCA experts and knowledgeable pet authors. A percentage of the books’ purchase price will support the ASPCA’s mission.
