Book Trailers: Like Movie Trailers, but about Books

Have you heard about book trailers yet?  They're not trailers that you attach to your car just to carry all your books (even though that sounds awesome), but instead are videos that promote books. Instead of telling you about a new movie, it tells you about a new book. They're growing in popularity and a fantastic example of a recent trailer for a book that's already out is this 41 second one for the 2012 Caldecott winner A Ball for Daisy by: Chris Raschka (E RASCHKA):

Impressive, right? It's even more impressive if you know that Chris Raschka's 17-year old son, Ingo Raschka, created the trailer. If you'd like to check out the book, its shelf location is E RASCHKA.

New Book: Lucky and Squash

A new book we want to share is called Lucky and Squash by: Jeanne Birdsall and illustrated by: Jane Dyer (E BIRDSALL). It’s a picture book with a sweet story about two neighbor dogs who are friends but can’t play together because there is a fence between them.  They decide to become matchmakers for their single owners so that they can live and play together. Their owners are shy, so to get them together, they run away so that their owners will meet while searching for them and fall in love. Check out the book to find out if their matchmaking is successful!  As always with new books, if it is not checked out, it will either be on the shelf (E BIRDSALL) or on the new books display.
