Nibbles the Book Monster: 1 (Nibbles (1))

Product Information

The eight campaigns on this shortlist were all winners at the Publishers’ Publicity Circle’s annual awards. Alongside the title of Marketing Strategy of the Year, the award for Publicity Campaign of the Year completes a remarkable double for the most visible début of 2022, Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry. The novel’s influence at this year’s Nibbies is pronounced, with nods for the Fiction: Début award and in the Marketing, Publicity, Imprint (Doubleday) and Agent (Felicity Blunt) categories. The ending is open ended, so I have hopes that we will have another Nibbles book! With new adventures! New books! I can't wait. :D

Ten years on from launch, five years into life at Hachette, and two years after the arrival of Richard King, Bookouture evolved into a global force in 2022. The book is riddled with holes here and there, holes through which Nibbles ate himself a way out. I loved that they were added it made the book so much more fun. I also have to give extra credit to the book cover. Normally books are paper and feel cold/hard on the touch, but not this one. It has texture, but also seems to not been made from paper but from fabric. I love it when publisher/authors do something special to their books. Some ideas for this book would be to discuss the similarities and differences between the folklore stories to compared to the original or a different version. There are many similarities and differences that the students could find. They could create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences. Since there are a few different versions mentioned within the Book Monster, the teacher would have great examples to do a teacher model, a we do example, and a student do. Also, students could complete a sequence of events for the Book Monster to explain what happened throughout the story. Students could also write about what they think will happen next to Nibbles. Students could create their own story about Nibbles and his next adventure. Lastly, the teacher could have a discussion about how students know that this is a fractured fairy-tale/folklore story and how this story is different from nonfiction. Its first trophy came in 2016, the year it won the second of two consecutive Booker Prizes. That kind of recognition can unbalance a small publisher, but after several years of consolidation Oneworld moved up a gear in 2022, with zeitgeist-capturing literary publishing and best-ever sales and profits.I still couldn't hate the little fellow, instead I just laughed at his cuteness and his total obliviousness to all that happened around him. Though at times you could see he knew what he was doing. If the turn outs in the stories weren’t enough to make you laugh, the version I had had real holes in my ages showing how He makes his way through the books, and that alone is worthy many smiles.

Vintage’s creative director Suzanne Dean has been behind some of the most iconic covers in publishing over more than two decades at Penguin Random House, and 2022 saw her at the very top of her game. The Trade Awards celebrate everyone from independent bookshops, and regional small presses, to the industry’s largest players, from agents championing debut authors to marketers and publicists finding the most creative routes to readers. The book industry is an intricate and deeply collaborative ecosystem, and we are here to shine a light on every bit of it. The British Book Awards judges liked EUP’s strong collaboration with publishing partners and institutions, its smart long-term investment in business systems and analytics, and the way it responded nimbly to fill gaps in its academic fields. “They consistently make sensible invest- ment and publishing decisions.”

S&S’ children’s division had a best-ever year of sales and profits, increasing its TCM turnover by a fifth—and by more than half since 2019. Picture books, fiction and audio were all in substantial double-digit growth, and international exports, rights and co-editions hit record highs. While brands like Supertato and Ben Miller were strong, the undoubted highlight was A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year and the top children’s début fiction title. Export, rights and co-edition sales were all at best-ever levels. There was more double-digit growth across picture books and Young Adult, and it had the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year in A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief—all of which earns Simon & Schuster the title of Children’s Publisher of the Year, too. Rushdie has continued to advocate for others’ rights to freedom of expression. His most recent book Victory City was published by Vintage in February. None of this is done without risk. On 12th August 2022, a man stabbed Rushdie after rushing onto the stage where the novelist was scheduled to deliver a lecture at an event in New York. He survived, but has lost sight in one eye. It is also a second British Book Award in six years for Transworld’s Alison Barrow, following success for her work on The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. There were hallmarks of that publicity strategy in her campaign for Lessons in Chemistry, which began at the point of acquisition and has not abated since. It was clearly a passion project with endless creativity and innovation, first building a word-of-mouth buzz and an army of advocates, then achieving an exceptional level of media interest. There were acres of magazine, review and supplement coverage and successful pitches to key TV/radio slots, including “Between the Covers”, “Open Book”, “Woman’s Hour” and several book clubs.

I've read this book roughly 82 million times because it is a favorite in my house. We've actually had it for almost two years and despite having books overflowing our shelves and access to the entire county library full of books, this is one that keeps making it's way onto the "PLEASE READ THIS ONE MOMMY" list.

The year also saw S&S look outside its own business for ways to diversify its output and staffing, including via the Pathways Into Children’s Publishing programme. More than a quarter of its books—and a third of new acquisitions—came from underrepresented authors and illustrators. There was some excellent outreach and charitable work too, with BookTrust, libraries and Save the Children, among others, plus progress on sustainability initiatives. The genre for this book starts out as fiction, but then switches to Folktale and Fairy-tales. The author creates a twist with the stories by throwing Nibbles into the stories and his tendencies to destroy and nibble things. The author and illustrator have created books within books that has the reader wanting to catch Nibbles and to see what shenanigans he gets into next. The different stories are unique to their book within The Book Monster. The grade levels that would enjoy this would be Kindergarten through 2nd Grade. I read the story aloud to my 1st Graders, who LOVED the main story of Nibbles, but also were excited to see which folklore or fairy-tale story would come next. They would always make predictions of which story would come next.
