Librarian Preview: Little, Brown and Company (Spring 2014)

LittleBrown

Let’s try something a little different this time around. My usual previews contain all kinds of fun details, and certainly the Little Brown previews are the cream of the publishing crop. I’m talking Yale Club.  I’m talking white tablecloths. I’m talking little sandwiches with salmon and capers inside. But before I get to anything else, [...]

The Dark By Lemony Snicket Illustrated by Jon Klassen Little Brown & Co. $16.99 ISBN: 978-0-316-18748-0 Ages 4-8 On shelves April 2nd You do not know the temptation I am fighting right now to begin this review with some grandiose statement equating a fear of the dark with a fear of death itself.

Librarian Preview: Little, Brown and Company (Spring/Summer 2012)

LittleBrown

There are many reasons to love Little, Brown but at the moment the company has my heart because their last librarian preview consisted of less than thirty books in total.  And when you’re dealing with less than thirty books, typing up what they have is much easier on the old post-natal still-carpal-tunnely digits.  So it [...]

Librarian Preview: Little Brown and Company (Fall 2011 – Winter 2012)

AllKindsofKisses

Previews, previews!  Lovely little previews! And we find ourselves back at the Yale Club, across the street from Grand Central Station, and a whopping 10 minutes away, on foot, from my library.  There are advantages to living on a tiny island, I tell ya. As per usual, Little Brown pulled out all the stops for [...]

I know it is your day [...]

Librarian Preview: Little, Brown and Company (Fall-Winter 2010)

Mmm.  Fall.  How quickly we desire to see the shiny and new.  Spring and Summer 2010 books?  Old hat.  Gimme the sparkly new stuff that won’t even begin to hit bookstore and library shelves until the leaves start turning brown.  Yep, it was a good old-fashioned Little, Brown librarian preview the other week.  There was [...]

curiousgarden

The Curious Garden By Peter Brown Little, Brown and Company $16.99 ISBN: 978-0-316-01547-9 Ages 4-8 On shelves now. They say that children’s books are inherently didactic.
