We want to thank everyone for the terrific discussion of Books for Babies!
As November winds down, we are going to turn our attention to the topic of formula series books.
Formula series books have been a staple of children's pubishing for a century and more. Many of the series have changed from generation to generation of readres (and even from year to year) while others have lasted for decades.
For the rest of November, we want to get your persepctive on formula series books. Do kids still read Goosebumps? What about T.V. series spinoffs such as mass market paperbacks based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer or other shows. Do Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys attract young readers today?
What are the kids you know reading in the way of formula series? What did you read in the past? And what role do you think these books play in the lives of young readers?
