Widget name: Class of 2k8 Website: http://www.classof2k8.com/ Description: The Class of 2k8 is a group of 28 first-time authors who've joined together to spread the word about our books. Like our wonderful predecessor, the Class of 2k7, we hail from all over the US and, now, from Canada. Our books come from a spectrum of the top publishers, are divided evenly between YA and MG, and range widely in setting, tone, and subject. But what we, as their authors, all have in common is our excitement about our books, about readers and about bringing the two together. Put this Widget on your blog! |

Widget name: Children's Choice Book Awards Website: http://bookweekonline.com Description: The Children's Choice Book Awards program was created to provide young readers with an opportunity to voice their opinions about the books being written for them and to help develop a reading list that will motivate children to read. Children will be able to cast their vote for their favorite books, author, and illustrator at bookstores, school libraries, and at http://www.bookweekonline.com until Sunday, May 4, 2008. 10,000 children in five teams from around the US spent months reading and evaluating books submitted by publishers. They looked at hundreds of titles. The five favorite books published in 2007 in each of these categories are open for a nation-wide vote in March and April 2008 in each of three grade categories: K-2, 3-4, 5-6 as well as Favorite Author, and Favorite Illustrator. The winner in each category will be named at a gala during Children's Book Week on May 13th, 2008 in New York City. Put this Widget on your blog! |

Widget name: Kane/Miller Books Website: http://www.kanemiller.com Description: Kane/Miller is a very small, very specialized, very independent publishing company. We choose the books we publish with extraordinary care and attention. We think about them, we discuss them, we argue about them. We read them aloud, and then we read them to ourselves, to our families, and to each other. We live with them. In the end, we publish those books that speak to us - and those that we believe will speak to children. Put this Widget on your blog! |

Widget name: 2007 Cybils Website: http://www.cybils.com Description: Now in their second year, the Cybils are the Internet's first literary awards. The public nominates their favorite children's books. Then groups of bloggers get to work. First, a nominating committee reads ALL the titles in a given category. After nearly two arduous months, this committee winnows the nominees to five finalists. A second committee of bloggers considers the shortlist and, after much debate, chooses the best of the best for 2007. Put this Widget on your blog! |
