Announcing the Winter 2004/2005 Kids' Book Sense Picks

The Winter 2004/2005 Children's Book Sense Picks can now be previewed on BookWeb.org. To see the full list, click here.

Booksellers should be receiving the Children's Picks fliers at their stores within a week.

Very many thanks to all the booksellers -- both children's specialty stores and general independents -- who sent in their enthusiastic nominations, without which there would be no list!

As you begin to set up displays featuring selections from this Picks list, if possible, please, do take pictures and share them with us. They become a wonderful addition the presentations we make to publishers about the program. Photos may be in print or digital format. Digital photos, approximately 3" x 5" and 300 dpi, saved as JPEG or TIFF files, can be e-mailed to Christine Babcock at [email protected]. Multiple pictures may be sent as a stuffed file (.sit). PDF or ZIP files should not be sent, but photos saved on a ZIP disk are acceptable.

Looking ahead, the deadline for the February Book Sense Picks list is December 3, and the deadline for the Valentine's Day Top Ten is December 10. Please e-mail your nominations to Book Sense Picks Editor-in-Chief Dan Cullen at [email protected], or you can use the Web nomination form at http://www.bookweb.org/read/6305.

And many thanks for all you are doing for Book Sense!
