Hello Playful Antiquarian,
My name is Bill Kauffmann and I am the bookseller relations coordinator at Search Institute, a youth development organization based in Minneapolis, MN.
Because of your affinity for exploring children’s literature I thought you may be interested in learning about one of our newest books, Playful Reading: Positive, Fun Ways to Build the Bond between Preschoolers, Books, and You.
Anita Silvey, respected children’s literature expert and author of 100 Best Books for Children writes, “Playful Reading is a wonderful book—full of sound advice and great book choices.”
It is a must for parents and preschool teachers as it highlights 40 children’s books and provides activities for each story based on the research of Search Institute and the 40 things all kids need to succeed. We hope you will get a chance to reveiw it in your library or on amazon.com or bn.com.
Thanks for reading my pitch. If you like children’s literature I really think you will like this book.
All the Best,
Bill
