You guys, it’s only two weeks till sales conference! We’re about to hear about all the books publishing in Fall 2016. Can you believe it?!

I’ve been glancing through some of the advance materials, and here are some that I’m excited about:

Abigail the Whale
by Davide Cali  & Sonja Bougaeva (09/13/16)
9781771471985| Owlkids Books | UTP
Hardcover| Price: $18.95

Abigail hates Wednesdays, which are swim class days. Other kids are mean to her, because of her size. But then she gets some good advice from her swim teacher, that transforms her life. Delightful!

Samson in the Snow
by Philip C. Stead (09/27/16)
9781626721821| Roaring Brook | RAI
Hardcover| Price: $24.99

A charming story about a lonely woolly mammoth who makes some new friends during a snow storm. I personally think Stead’s illustrations just keep getting better and better!

Dinosaurs in Disguise
by Sphen Krensky and Lynn Munsinger (11/01/16)
9780544472716| Houghton Mifflin Harcourt | RAI
Hardcover| Price: $24.99

What if dinosaurs DIDN’T go extinct, they just went into hiding? An intriguing theory, and hilariously illustrated!
