Fall 2008 Children's Announcements
While mega-selling series by Stephenie Meyer, Cornelia Funke and Jeanne DuPrau are drawing to a close this fall, there are plenty of exciting titles in every genre ready to step in and fill the void.
Take a look at our extensive alphabetical fall listings (as well as our sneak preview of the spring 2009 season), and be sure to note the books with major first printings in our fall on-sale calendar. From Angelina Ballerina to Yertle the Turtle, see who's celebrating a big birthday this season, and you might be surprised to hear about some adult titles being adapted for the children's market.
Read our profile of YA author Francesca Lia Block, and then raise a glass in honor of several children's bookstores with 20+ years under their belts. We also have an excerpt from Leonard S. Marcus’s Minders of Make-Believe, which highlights some major historical figures in children’s publishing, as well as the latest installment in our 50 Under 40 series, a profile of Little, Brown editor Jennifer Hunt.
For a look at the lighter side of children's books, check out two humorous books going "head to head" with the same title this fall, and browse our seasonal list of odd and unusual award-winners, including "Kids' Best Defense Against Eating Their Veggies" and "Least Likely Book to Get a Seal of Approval from Emily Post." And click here to read about the resurgence of letter-writing in some of this fall's titles.
All that and more, in our fall children's announcements issue. Happy reading!
