September 2014 Welcome September!  The aspens are turning in the Colorado mountains so there's no doubt that fall is here.  A customer emailed a couple of weeks ago and asked why he hadn't received Squawk Notes. It is nice to be missed but even nicer to be back! Things have been quite busy here at Lorito Books.  We (finally!) have a new website that showcases all of our great Spanish children's book and audio collections. The new site employs an e-commerce platform, which will make adding and updating titles and inventory much easier.  Explore the new site at loritobooks.com. Also new at Lorito is our library binding.  This option is now available for most of our paperback collection.  We are excited that these lovely paper editions will find life on a library shelf. Also new in recent months is the addition of Editorial Amanuta to the Lorito Books list of publishers.  This award-winning publisher from Chile publishes simply beautiful books.  We have a created a mini-collection of books from Amanuta focusing on childhood games, poems and crafts, which can be found here. Thanks for listening/Gracias por escuchar, Pam Fochtman Founder & President ¡New from Lorito!

Rabbit!) We had this book on display at our booth at ALA in June.  Many librarians shared the ways they've used the English edition in story times at their library.  Their creativity was amazing! To start, it has Amy Krouse Rosenthal's clever humor and Tom Lichtenheld's fun and deceptively simple illustrations so it's an entertaining read.  Beyond that it can be used to teach optical illusions, perception and critical thinking skills...any many other fun learning options. ISBN 978-607-463-913-1, 40 pages.  Ages 4 and up.  Library bound edition, $22.95.    To order, click here.  Available September 17th.
