After a two-year absence, the Disney Company's Hyperion and Disney Children's Book Group will return to the BookExpo America convention in 1999. The two book groups will occupy 400 square feet of exhibit space on the convention floor and will bring members of their sales, marketing, publicity and subsidiary rights staff to the show.

Commenting on their return to the convention, Bob Miller, v-p and group publisher, said, "We're thrilled to be back at BEA."
