Farewell Fall 2014!

Peachtree Publishers — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 16:33:00 +0000

Thanks for following our Fall 2014 Blog Tour! It was a good three months, but all good things must come to an end. We hope that you discovered some great kid lit bloggers along the way and got a sense of our exciting season.

Let’s do a quick montage! Like they do in the movies!

In August we learned all about parrots, and learned a couple of football gambits from Jesse, Jay and Savannah.

In September Stanley had two full career changes! Pig and Small became lifelong friends! And Charlie Bumpers used desensitization techniques to overcome his Halloween fears!

We wrapped up in October with an animal parade, a skiing sock and pup, and a lifesaving dog.

That wraps it up for this season, but we’ve got exciting changes in store for Spring 2015 titles. In addition to reviews, we’ll also be showing blog tour followers story time ideas, crafts, flannel board patterns, discussion questions, and more extension activities! You can thank our guest bloggers for that! As always, visit our website for free Teachers Guides.

Blog Tour for “Pig and Small”

Two friends learn that size doesn’t matter in this hilarious story about finding common ground.

Pig and Bug just want to be friends. But their size difference is proving to be a BIG problem. Pig wants to play games – but Bug is too small. Bug wants to make things for his friend – but Pig is too big!

Just as they’ve given up all hope for their friendship, Pig has an idea…

But will it work?

(Yes, it will!)

Alex Latimer lives near the border of a national park so when not writing or drawing, he spends his free time shooing baboons out of his lounge. The Boy Who Cried Ninja is his first book for children. He lives in South Africa. Publishers Weekly Reviews notes that “Latimer (Lion vs. Rabbit), whose deadpan visual comedy is always a treat, once again proves he’s adept at conveying life lessons with the lightest of touches.”

School Library Journal recommends this humorous tale of unusual friendship for storytime, especially for the big bright illustrations. See what our bloggers say!
