Fall 2003 Children's Books. Fall is the season for publishers to bring out their big books, often releasing titles by top authors in hopes that these will garner strong sales through the all-important holiday season. This year is no exception: new novels by Jerry Spinelli, Cornelia Funke, Walter Dean Myers, Suzanne Fisher Staples, Sharon Creech, Karen Hesse and Lemony Snicket are due, among many others, while picture books from Ian Falconer, Peggy Rathmann, Anthony Browne, Peter Sís, David Shannon and Denise Fleming, to name just a few, are being issued. And a noteworthy trend: no fewer than six high-profile fantasy trilogies will be introduced this season. (From Publisher's Weekly). [The Wide Window]
