Here’s a roundup of some useful information:
- Attached is a sell sheet of all titles that have new covers compared to what is in the catalog. These are listed in catalog order.
- Don’t forget to send your FALL17 SAMPLE ORDER FORM in to Eunice ASAP.
- Hachette will be closed (warehouse and offices) on July 3rd and 4th in observance of the Independence Day Holiday.
Great Publicity:
- FLORET FARM’S CUT FLOWER GARDEN was recently featured in an Associate Press piece. Newspapers from across the country pick up AP articles, so it’s possible this will run in your local paper. An example of what it looks like can be found HERE.
- Laurence King and Princeton had some of their great children’s activity books featured in an article on NYT online, and in last Sunday’s NYT print edition, as part of their round-up of Kids’ Activity books for Summer Reading. LK’s features: DRAW AND DISCOVER series (Happy, Sad, Feeling Glad; Push, Pull, Empty, Full; and Inside, Outside, Upside Down) and COLOR, DRAW, EXPLORE series (My New York, My London). PAP’s features: MY NATURE STICKER ACTIVITY series.
Starred Reviews:
- THIS IS HOW WE DO IT has received a 2nd starred review (from Booklist and Horn Book Magazine)! This fantastic children’s book is selling like crazy. If you have a children’s store that hasn’t picked it up yet, encourage them to add it on their next order.
- NOTHING RHYMES WITH ORANGE has also received its 2nd starred review (Kirkus and Publisher Weekly).

Have a wonderful weekend!
