During my day at Book Expo America a few weeks back, I was intrigued to discover the new “Not For Parents” series from the folks at Lonely Planet. The publisher describes these books as designed “for budding travel lovers 8 and up,” adding that the series “opens up the world to a whole new generation of adventurers – with intriguing stories and fascinating facts about people, places, history and culture from around the world. From hideous histories to funky food, they cover all the cool stuff to know and are jam-packed with photos, illustrations and cartoons.” I considered myself lucky to snag a complimentary copy of the New York City book for my niece, who turns nine this summer.
I am even more delighted to have convinced said niece, Rachel, to write a brief review for this blog. (This was an activity that helped us pass the time before we went to the movies last weekend.) Please note that Rachel is already a practicing reviewer, with other posts to her credit over on her mom’s site.
I haven’t changed anything here–and all opinions are Rachel’s! (more…)
Have a great weekend! See you back here on Monday.
Last Friday, as you may recall, I mentioned the upcoming Book Expo America (BEA) and spotlighted a “BEA Buzz Books” resource available to all. (Just as a reminder: BEA is a mega-event for the publishing industry that will be taking place most of next week here in New York City. I’ll be attending one day of the show, and participating in some ancillary activities throughout the week.)
But this week brings more news, because BEA has announced that “you can catch all your favorite authors and even get to see some new ones wherever you are with BEA’s new streaming during the event.” Now, that’s something to look forward to, isn’t it?
Have a great weekend, everyone. See you back here on Monday.
