On Monday, Scholastic did a very cool and, I think, generally unprecedented thing: We broadcast our Fall 2010 librarian preview across the web, with five editors discussing most of our terrific autumn titles. You can watch the preview (hosted by our intrepid School & Library Marketing Director, John Mason) here:
Scholastic Librarian Preview
The Arthur A. Levine Books portion begins around 15:00, and features Mad at Mommy, the next picture book from New York Times Ten Best Illustrated honoree Komako Sakai; Welcome to My Neighborhood: A Barrio ABC, written by Pulitzer nominee Quiara Alegria Hudes, with illustrations from Shino Arihara; The Memory Bank, by National Book Award honoree Carolyn Coman, illustrated by Rob Shepperson; Plain Kate by the very unplain Erin Bow; StarCrossed, the kickass second novel from the Morris Award-winning Elizabeth C. Bunce; The Miracle Stealer, a terrific religious suspense novel by Neil Connelly; and the uber-fun Bobby the Brave (Sometimes), by Lisa Yee and Dan Santat. I edited or co-edited Mad at Mommy, StarCrossed, The Miracle Stealer, and Bobby, so you can expect to hear quite a bit more about them in the months ahead. Hope you enjoy the show!

Oh WOW, after hearing him talk about Plain Kate, it's a MUST READ!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cool link to that video, it was really neat to see all the trends, new books, etc. :)
Thank you for this! LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Very cool. I have a 9YO who looks up book release dates and marks them on the calendar, so I think I'll have to show him this, too...
ReplyDeleteOkay, just coming back to say THANK YOU to you people at Scholastic for picking your jobs and bringing some of my current and future favorite books to life! I think that if you could somehow package and export Arthur Levine's enthusiasm for books to every kid, you'd make a reader out of everyone. Very fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI watched the preview and am impressed by all the excellent books coming out this fall. Keep up the good work! :o)
ReplyDeleteDavid Shannon featured prominetly but the picture book editor didn't mention any new books by Shannon, did I miss something? Most of the talk was about the illustrators for the other book.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the blog since the first time do I saw it. Now they have reached another milestone which lead us to report about it, and I think it's a great new... as the content of the text.
