A Rush of Children's Stuff

On this, the birthday of the beloved Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel, it’s all about children’s material for me. For one, I’m watching “Wall-E” right now. Seriously: I’m at work, at my computer, with a big screen TV set up across the office, with “Wall-E” playing. It might be the best day of work I’ve ever had, but that could just be because “Wall-E” is one of my favorite movies of all time.

But of course, Dr. Seuss wrote books, not movies (unless you count the generally horrible movie adaptations of his books, and frankly I don’t), so we should concentrate on books. And what better place to do that then…Asia? Publishers Weekly recently did a rundown of children’s books in the Asian market. Luckily, we’re doing our children’s exhibit at the Beijing Book Fair—only the largest book fair in the Asian Market. No big deal. It’s called the International Children’s Publishing Exhibit. Have a looksie.

I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the month in which Dr. Seuss was born also happens to be the month in which the Bologna Children’s Book Fair is taking place. T-Minus 16 days until I’m off to there for the first time. I’m incredibly excited about the fair, and all that’s involved with it. We still have slots open if you want your children’s book included, just go to our site at www.combinedbook.com to learn more.

Unrelated to the children’s stuff, I know I said I’d have a big announcement soon that I haven’t announced within the time frame. The good news is that it keeps getting bigger, so in order to do it justice, I put it off a bit. You’ll appreciate it once it comes though, I promise.

And the final notice for today: Aside from our beloved doctor, it's also my big brother's birthday! Let the partying commence!
