May 07, 2025 | Filed in Blogs

It's Children's Book Week! Visit the website for events and information.

You may also get a kick out of these early ads for Children's Book Week. They came to us courtesy of K. T. Horning, whose article in the July/August 2012 Horn Book Magazine, "The Search for Distinguished," examines the old-as-the-hills arguments about popular vs. distinguished when awards season rolls around.
