Book that put a smile on your face/was the most FUN to read:The Honeymoon Crashers by Christina Lauren brought me so much joy! The narration was so much fun, and I loved catching up with everyone from The Unhoneymooners, which is one of my favorite books ever.</div><div></div><div></div><div>5. Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley</div><div></div><div>This book and the next two came from my Broke & Bookish Secret Santa, Nathalie! Thank you again, Nathalie! I love holiday books, so she knew what she was doing when she sent me these.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I can't find books with commentary to complete my daily research. I know that Pride and Prejudice is one, but it just shows "research completed" after I complete a chapter. I don't know where I would find the commentary for it. What books do you know that have commentary?</div><div></div><div></div><div>The key difference between picture books and early readers is the reading level. Will the book be read to a child by an adult, or will it be read to an adult by a child? Picture books are typically read by adults and early readers are read by, you guessed it, children who are early in the learning to read process.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The illustrations in a picture book add a level of details and information to the story, while the illustrations in an easy reader show exactly what the text on the page describes in order to help the beginning reader figure out the words. In other words, the illustrations in picture books and easy readers fulfill two entirely different purposes.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Should your story be a picture book or early reader? The most important element to consider is the potential for illustrations. Are there lots of active scenes that an illustrator can bring to life for young listeners turning pages while a grown-up reads them the story? Are there opportunities for the illustrations to enrich the text and add details?</div><div></div><div></div><div>What are chapter books? Dig in! Chapter books are for more independent readers who are making the bridge between picture books and early readers and middle grade. Some bookstores designate these as for kids 9-12 but I would say readers are mostly 6-8. Manuscripts can range from about 5,000 words to about 15,000 words, max. Since your audience is still developing its reading skills, you have more of a wide berth in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure, story and character.</div><div></div><div></div><div>I am a published author of 2 childrens books with another one to be published</div><div></div><div>by the end of 2016. Have a 3 book series of easy/early readers waiting to be</div><div></div><div>published. Would you give me permission to send you the completed manuscript</div><div></div><div>for review?</div><div></div><div></div><div>WRITING IRRESISTIBLE KIDLIT: The Ultimate Guide to Crafting Fiction for Young Adult and Middle Grade Readers is available from Writer's Digest Books! Click to purchase, and be sure to add it to your shelf and write a review on Goodreads! This book wouldn't be possible without my lovely blog readers and your support over the years!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Jocelyn Schmidt is Executive Vice President, Associate Publisher Penguin Young Readers. She currently oversees the development of the PYR list, working with ten publishers to bring the perfect book to every reader at the perfect time.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Jocelyn joined PYR in 2005 as brand director, managing picture book and author brands as mini-businesses within PYR. Prior to her time at PYR, she was in the Random House adult mass merchandise sales division for 12 years, taking on many roles. She sold to airport retailers then moved to a liaison position, partnering with the publishers under the Random House umbrella and setting positioning and goals for their books in the mass channel. Along the way, she oversaw the sales team for Target, Walmart and the airports, and in her last role managed the mass merch field sales force. Jocelyn started her career in books as a Barnes and Noble bookseller, with training in both in-store operations and merchandising.</div><div></div><div></div><div>ADE is ranked among the best EPUB3 readers by EPUBTest.org.

Emergent readers are also available for download as interactive eBooks. To download the files, please right-click on the link and select "save link as."</div><div></div><div></div><div>Some things we do with books: Read them, obviously. Engage with them. Think about them, and all the different words for that: ponder, contemplate, consider. Tell people about them. Shelve them. Give them away. Check them out from the library. Buy them at a bookstore. Buy them online. Get into impassioned arguments about them.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Why has it become almost strange to call things what they are? An airline traveler is a passenger. A shopper is a customer. A lover of books is a reader. We are moviegoers, art fans, coffee fiends, tea drinkers, sushi lovers, fashion-obsessed; we are clients and visitors and people who need things like toothpaste and dish soap. We are only consumers because it is easier for capitalism to make us all the same. Little Kirby mouths, inhaling whatever we can.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The caring adults in their lives read with them regularly, creating shared reading routines. These efforts are supported by easy-to-use materials and training to help families make the most of shared reading time and moments with their children. Families are connected with libraries to maintain the habit of borrowing and sharing books, long after the program is complete.</div><div></div><div></div><div>An e-reader, also called an e-book reader or e-book device, is a mobile electronic device that is designed primarily for the purpose of reading digital e-books and periodicals.[1][2]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Any device that can display text on a screen may act as an e-reader; however, specialized e-reader devices may optimize portability, readability, and battery life for this purpose. Their main advantage over printed books is portability. This is because an e-reader is capable of holding thousands of books while weighing less than one book, and the convenience provided due to add-on features.[3][4]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Many e-readers can use the internet through Wi-Fi and the built-in software can provide a link to a digital Open Publication Distribution System (OPDS) library or an e-book retailer, allowing the user to buy, borrow, and receive digital e-books.[9] An e-reader may also download e-books from a computer or read them from a memory card.[10] However, the use of memory cards is decreasing as most of the 2010s era e-readers lack a card slot.[11]</div><div></div><div></div><div>An idea similar to that of an e-reader is described in a 1930 manifesto written by Bob Brown titled The Readies,[12] which describes "a simple reading machine which I can carry or move around, attach to any old electric light plug and read hundred-thousand-word novels in 10 minutes". His hypothetical machine would use a microfilm-style ribbon of miniaturized text which could be scrolled past a magnifying glass, and would allow the reader to adjust the type size. He envisioned that eventually words could be "recorded directly on the palpitating ether".[13]</div><div></div><div></div><div>The establishment of the E Ink Corporation in 1997 led to the development of electronic paper, a technology which allows a display screen to reflect light like ordinary paper without the need for a backlight. Among the first commercial e-readers were Sony's Data Discman (which was using Mini CDs with special caddies) and the Rocket eBook.[14] Several others were introduced around 1998, but did not gain widespread acceptance. Electronic paper was incorporated first into the Sony Librie that was released in 2004 and Sony Reader in 2006, followed by the Amazon Kindle, a device which, upon its release in 2007, sold out within five and a half hours.[15] The Kindle includes access to the Kindle Store for e-book sales and delivery.</div><div></div><div></div><div>As of 2009[update], new marketing models for e-books were being developed and a new generation of reading hardware was produced. E-books (as opposed to e-readers) had yet to achieve global distribution. In the United States, as of September 2009, the Amazon Kindle model and Sony's PRS-500 were the dominant e-reading devices.[16] By March 2010, some reported that the Barnes & Noble Nook may have been selling more units than the Kindle in the US.[17] The Ectaco jetBook Color was the first color e-reader on the market, but its muted colors were criticized.[18] As of 2021, a few color E-ink readers have been introduced into the market.[19]</div><div></div><div></div><div>Research released in March 2011 indicated that e-books and e-readers were more popular with the older generation than the younger generation in the UK. The survey, carried out by Silver Poll, found that around 6% of people over 55 owned an e-reader, compared with just 5% of 18- to 24-year-olds.[20] According to an IDC study from March 2011, sales for all e-readers worldwide rose to 12.8 million in 2010; 48% of them were Amazon Kindles, followed by Barnes & Noble Nooks, Pandigital, and Sony Readers (about 800,000 units for 2010).[21]</div><div></div><div></div><div>On January 27, 2010 Apple Inc. launched a multi-function tablet computer called the iPad[22] and announced agreements with five of the six largest publishers[23] that would allow Apple to distribute e-books.[24] The iPad includes a built-in app for e-book reading called iBooks and had the iBookstore for content sales and delivery. The iPad, the first commercially profitable tablet, was followed in 2011 by the release of the first Android-based tablets as well as LCD tablet versions of the Nook and Kindle. Unlike previous dedicated e-readers, tablet computers are multi-functional, utilize LCD touchscreen displays, and are more agnostic to e-book vendor apps, allowing for the installation of multiple e-book reading apps. Many Android tablets accept external media and allow uploading files directly onto the tablet's file system without resorting to online stores or cloud services. Many tablet-based and smartphone-based readers are capable of displaying PDF and DJVU files, which few of the dedicated e-book readers can handle. This opens a possibility to read publications originally published on paper and later scanned into a digital format. While these files may not be considered e-books in their strict sense, they preserve the original look of printed editions. The growth in general-purpose tablet use allowed for further growth in the popularity of e-books in the 2010s.</div><div></div><div> dafc88bca6</div>
