TOON Books Opts For Simultaneous Release of Initial Offerings on April 7

TOON Books, the children's comics in book form series being launched by Editorial Direct Francoise Mouly and Series Advisor art Spiegelman, has announced that they will release all three of their initial books on the same day, April 7.

imageThe three books are Benny & Penny, by Geoffrey Hayes; Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons, by Agnes Rosenstiehl; and Otto's Orange Day by Frank Cammuso & Jay Lynch. They had previously been announced as being released on a staggered schedule.

The press release also mentions some of the ramp-up to the debut: a presentation at the ALA mid-winter meeting, reviews in the various and expected booktrade publications, the previously announced inclusion in Maryland's Comics in the Classroom Initiative and one I don't remember seeing before, participation in Renaissance Learning's Accelerated Reader quiz program. They've also announced that Art Spiegelman's contribution will appear this fall and Harry Bliss' in Spring 2009.
