So Many Animals! A Child’s Book of Poetry, an anthology of poems about animals, each with its own coloring-book-style illustration, recently received a Silver Award from the Mom’s Choice Awards. Kirkus Reviews called the book “A delightful poetry anthology that readers of all ages will enjoy.” The book will be featured at Kidtown Story & Craft Time on April 15 at 10AM. The event will take place at Midtown Reader, Tallahassee’s only New York Times reporting, general-subject, independent bookstore, selling new books. Bring the kids for a poetry safari and a fun bookmark-making craft. 1123 Thomasville Road, Tallahassee, FL 32303.

Susan Koehler’s middle-grade novel, Nobody Kills Uncle Buster and Gets Away with It, won first place in the Royal Palm Literary Awards, but that wasn’t the biggest news of the evening at the Florida Writers Association’s annual awards banquet. Uncle Buster went on to be named FWA’s Children’s Book of the Year! Congratulations, Susan!
