Spring 2008 Children's Books
A noisy launch for Jon Scieszka's Trucktown and a comparatively "hush hush" addition to Mo Willems's Pigeon series are just a few reasons the spring season for kids' books is starting off with a bang.
In addition to our comprehensive alphabetical of the titles offered for children this spring, check out our on-sale calendar of books with big first printings this season, and take a sneak peak at what's on tap for fall. Feel free to break out the noisemakers for two bears, a mole and a toad who are all celebrating notable anniversaries this year. Our feature articles include a profile of YA author Sarah Dessen (whose latest book, Lock and Key, appears this April), an in-depth look at a noteworthy confluence of hotly anticipated spring sequels, tips from booksellers about how they balance the children's and adult sides of their stores, as well as some environmentally focused titles for children (arriving just in time for Earth Day), and a couple spooky trends that surfaced—new books centering on cults and zombies.
And don't forget to browse our picks for unlikely award winners, including "Book Most Likely to Result in Broken Windows" and "Picture Book Least Likely to Appeal to Picky Eaters."
Happy reading!
