TOON BOOKS JOINS CANDLEWICK PRESS

TOON Books, a favorite comics publisher for emergent readers, joined another publisher and will, as of October, operate as an imprint of Candlewick Press. The award-winning titles will be distributed by Candlewick and the Random House network. Candlewick will bring on board TOON's acclaimed backlist, including 2010 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Benny and Penny in the Big No-No! by Geoffrey Hayes; two Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Books: Little Mouse Gets Ready by Jeff Smith and Stinky by Eleanor Davis; and eight additional TOON Books favorites.  The new imprint will publish four to five new titles each year. In spring 2011, TOON will release Silly Lilly in What Will I Be Today? by Agnès Rosenstiehl, and Patrick in A Teddy Bear’s Picnic and Other Stories by Geoffrey Hayes.
