Hi, –
A children’s book with a new kind of hero – an eleven-year-old who is Manhattan’s top therapist – will hit bookshelves in MAY 2008.
Since I’m sure you receive many books for review, I wanted to check in to see if you would like to receive a galley in mid-January or a final book in early April.
Anna Smudge: Professional Shrink by Melissa A. Calderone is the first book in a six-part mystery-action series that will bring a fresh, fun, and fantasy-free perspective to a market saturated with wizards, fairies, and Harry Potter knock-offs.
Each of Anna’s friends boasts a successful career of their own- including a chef, an artist, and a reporter. Banding together as The Professionals, they use their expertise to solve the mystery of Mr. Who, the most horrendous criminal mastermind the world has ever known.
Featuring cover art and in-your-face illustrations by comic book superstars Greg Horn (Elektra, She-Hulk) and Glenn Fabry (Daredevil, Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere), Anna Smudge brings a new visual experience to the world of children’s books. Check out some of the cover art at: http://www.WhoisMrWho.com/sneak.htm.
Again, please let me know if you’d like an advance review copy of Anna Smudge: Professional Shrink and the book’s press materials. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Jenny

Greetings!
I am Christine Petrozzo, the publicist for JenPrint Publications. I noticed your blog online and was wondering if you might like for me or someone from my team to send you a review copy of the picture book titled “Chippers Kids: Counting in the Crazy Garden” by author Margarette Burnette. Please read the paragraph below to acquaint yourself with the picture book’s theme and its mission. I have also included a brief paragraph about the author.
Arnold Chipper loves to make “food” from his garden, but he can’t get his little brother Albert and friend Maria to eat any of his messy meals! Will they try one of his crazy creations? Or will they convince Arnold to use his garden in a different way? This fun story counts Arnold’s creations, from one to ten, as it also helps readers learn about healthy foods and gardening.
If you would like a copy please notify me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and please visit chipperkids.com for an in depth look at the children’s book.
Cheers,
Christine Petrozzo
Margarette Burnette
It all started when she wrote a story about camels that won her a prize in a local writing contest. An admirer suggested that Margarette Burnette should be a writer. But the timing wasn’t right, as she was in the first grade and had other priorities.
Fast forward a few years: she made it through school (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). She got married. She had kids. And she started writing. Margarette’s work has appeared in Parenting, Pregnancy, and Essence magazines.
Her Chipper Kids book, Counting in the Crazy Garden, will be in stores March 25, 2008. Be sure to call your favorite bookstore or library to pre-order a copy.
Margarette enjoys visiting schools. Her presentations involve the themes of “counting to ten”, “healthy food”, and “gardening”. If you’d like her to come to your school, please contact Lauren Bradford at JenPrint Publications.
She lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband Chuckie and two boys, ages four and five. To read the latest news about her projects, visit the Chipper Kids blog.
