Nibbles the Book Monster: 1 (Nibbles (1))

Product Information

Some ideas for this book would be to discuss the similarities and differences between the folklore stories to compared to the original or a different version. There are many similarities and differences that the students could find. They could create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences. Since there are a few different versions mentioned within the Book Monster, the teacher would have great examples to do a teacher model, a we do example, and a student do. Also, students could complete a sequence of events for the Book Monster to explain what happened throughout the story. Students could also write about what they think will happen next to Nibbles. Students could create their own story about Nibbles and his next adventure. Lastly, the teacher could have a discussion about how students know that this is a fractured fairy-tale/folklore story and how this story is different from nonfiction. After being shortlisted in each of the last two years, Simon & Schuster stepped up to the next level in 2022. It completes an exceptional one-two for the business, which is also the overall Publisher of the Year at the British Book Awards. Its sales through the TCM leapt by 21% in comparable terms to hit a record high. Much of the growth was generated by Colleen Hoover, who had the year’s biggest-selling title, It Ends With Us, and two more books in the top 15. Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo added another top-15 hit to S&S’ ranks. Export, rights and co-edition sales were all at best-ever levels. There was more double-digit growth across picture books and Young Adult, and it had the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year in A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief—all of which earns Simon & Schuster the title of Children’s Publisher of the Year, too. The final judging panel crowned the Non-Fiction Lifestyle & Illustrated Book of the Year winner, Menopausing, as The British Book Awards’ Overall Book of the Year. They thought the “impressive” book captured Davina McCall’s voice and passion.

Ten years on from launch, five years into life at Hachette, and two years after the arrival of Richard King, Bookouture evolved into a global force in 2022. After a stellar 2022, even by the high standards of the flourishing books market, Simon & Schuster wins this award for the second year a row. This is the inaugural British Book Award for Edinburgh University Press, the academic stalwart which has been trading for over seven decades. The business opened three new standalone bookshops in 2022, at Luton and Manchester airports and Edinburgh Waverley station, plus new concept stores with bright book departments. It meanwhile relocated and revamped its concessions within Harrods and Selfridges in London—special shopping environments that provide more proof that the W H S Travel team can do far more than pile-‘em-high bookselling.After Gollancz’s triumph in 2021, HarperVoyager’s success is a second Imprint of the Year Award in three years for a science fiction and fantasy list. It is deserved reward for the work of this year’s Editor of the Year Natasha Bardon and publishing director Jane Johnson, who has been championing these genres for nearly 40 years. Débuts do not come much bigger or better than Bonnie Garmus’ Lessons in Chemistry. Published in April 2022, it has spent 35 weeks near the top of the charts, with more than 200,000 copies shifted in the UK TCM and rights sold in 40 territories. From work experience to publishing director, it has been an impressive rise through the ranks for Natasha Bardon—and it is no coincidence that her HarperVoyager list has also earned a British Book Award for Imprint of the Year.

Nibbles: The Bedtime Book by Emma Yarlett | Waterstones

E little creature who likes to bite and chew anything, but has his heart on chomping books. And there he goes, eating his way through some classic fables from our childhood. This adventurous book begins with the reader meeting Nibbles the Book Monster. He loves to nibble everything but his favorite thing to nibble is BOOKS! Most of the time, Nibbles is contained in his cell being good. But whenever he escapes, panic and mayhem always ensue. This time, Nibbles has escaped and is nibbling through different folktales and fairy-tales which leaves their stories a mess! See the crazy mess that Nibbles leaves in his path. Everyone wants Nibbles to be caught. They all make an enormous difference, not just to children and Waterstones’ own performance but to authors and publishers. “If anyone doubted the importance of Waterstones to the children’s book market, the reopening of the high street in 2022 proved them wrong,” said one publishing 29 sales director. “Their all-round performance was fantastic,” agreed the judges. “They break books in a way no one else does.” S&S’ children’s division had a best-ever year of sales and profits, increasing its TCM turnover by a fifth—and by more than half since 2019. Picture books, fiction and audio were all in substantial double-digit growth, and international exports, rights and co-editions hit record highs. While brands like Supertato and Ben Miller were strong, the undoubted highlight was A F Steadman’s Skandar and the Unicorn Thief, the Waterstones Children’s Book of the Year and the top children’s début fiction title.The art/illustrations were gorgeous and lovely, they were just as much fun as the story was. Nibbles is drawn in a cute way, and I also loved seeing the fairy tales come to live anew with this artist's art. The year also saw S&S look outside its own business for ways to diversify its output and staffing, including via the Pathways Into Children’s Publishing programme. More than a quarter of its books—and a third of new acquisitions—came from underrepresented authors and illustrators. There was some excellent outreach and charitable work too, with BookTrust, libraries and Save the Children, among others, plus progress on sustainability initiatives. The business was to the fore on urgent industry issues, substantially diversifying its output and staffing, and taking big strides on sustainability. Care of team members, authors and retailers—especially indies—was exemplary. “Being published by S&S is the perfect combination of passion, ambition and kindness,” said one grateful author.
