Review Sheet

 
  Title: Graham Cracker’s Nutcracker
  Category: Children’s & Young Adult Books
  Name: Debbie Graham
 
  What impressed you most about this book?
  There are many nice aspects to this compact, easy to hold book for kids. But I would have to say that the one thing that impressed me the most was the unique style, yet interesting telling of the story that would be certain to hold a child’s attention, even at bedtime. The author is dealing with a familiar subject in a fresh, new way. Due to the strong attention to graphic design, adults reading this with children would also be greatly entertained. One can tell that the author and illustrator really thought out the overall design and layout for this book with young children in mind. The overall look makes this a great gift product--and a little different as it can also be thought of as an educational tool. Teachers are looking for more books like this for the early elementary grades. The look and feel of the paper and book are very professional so it is above all, a beautiful looking package.  
 
  If this were your book what would you do to market it?
  This kind of book is great to read aloud to children so it is best to try and market it as directly to children as possible. The author should write a strong press release announcing the publication of the title and then contact local school PTA’s and librarians about speaking engagements. After speaking the author can sell copies of the book. Due to the fact that, for a self-published book, the author has done an excellent job in the printing and producing of this book so it looks and feels much like other books out in the market, this title should be somewhat easy to get into big chain bookstores. I certainly think that the author should have an easy time of getting it into her local bookstores.
