Dragon Finds New Home in Library

Reading and dragons come together at the Dufferin/St. Clair Branch of the Toronto Public Library in a special room inspired by The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko. After a major renovation and restoration, one of Toronto's oldest public libraries reopened this week. The Dufferin/St. Clair Branch features a KidsStop with an Enchanted Forest theme. KidsStops are interactive early literacy centres where children and their parents and caregivers can learn pre-literacy skills in a hands-on environment. And who better to help young children become excited about books and reading than the iconic dragon from the classic Munsch favourite? The Toronto Public Library is the world's busiest urban public library system, and we're delighted that Annick Press is a visible presence in this renovated branch.

Mortimer on Oprah's Kids Reading List

Great news! Mortimer has been included in Oprah's Kids Reading List: 6-9 Years!

This all-time favorite by Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko has been making children and parents laugh out loud since it was first published 25 years ago. The rollicking story of a little boy who can't fall asleep is definitely a super star among children's books. Thanks Oprah - now a whole new generation of kids can go to sleep with a big smile on their face.
