Also, launching in late August, watch for their Young Readers' Toolkit, which is billed as featuring "information about National Book Festival authors who write for children and teens, podcasts of their readings, teaching tools and activities for kids." Some podcasts are up now. And Jan Brett is the 2008 Artist for the festival poster.

    Wow! What a list!! My son would LOVE to meet Tiki. He's read a couple of the Barber twins' books.

    I know I won't be able to make it though. Maybe next year...

    Next year I'm going for sure! What a great festival, and any reason to visit DC is a good one.
