Introduction

KIDLIT News

  •  Scholastic’s annual #TeachGraphix  Week is coming up December 9th – 13th. They’ll be posting free classroom activities, resources, and daily videos on the Scholastic YouTube Channel from Graphix authors and illustrators like Raina Telgemeier, Dav Pilkey, Aron Nels Steinke, Kazu Kibuishi, Lauren Tarshis, and on Friday, December 13th we’ll get to see a video featuring Varian Johnson (The author of The Parker Inheritance among others) and his collaborator Shannon Wright discuss their upcoming graphic novel Twins and reveal its cover!! I’ll pop a link to the website where you can find all of that and also follow #TeachGraphix.  

  • And…. the motherlode of all children’s book best of lists – is from Betsy Bird.  For the last three years she put out a best of list for every single day in December. So 31 Days, 31 Lists – Monday kicked things off with Great Board Books and amazingly – she has the entire month all scheduled out!

Today’s New Releases

Picture Books

  • One picture book that I know for sure you are going to want to see is the third picture book from Jory John / Pete Oswald – creators of The Bad Seed and The Good Egg – this one is called The Cool Bean.
  • Also – continuing with the trend of Late Night hosts named Jimmy writing children’s books, Jimmy Kimmel has his debut picture book out today called The Serious Goose. It is written, illustrated, and lettered by Jimmy Kimmel himself and was inspired by his nickname for his kids.
