New trends in children's books from Europe and Japan
1985
Overview
IN 1984 and 1985, I attended the International Bologna Book Fair to observe trends in foreign children's books. I met with hundreds of publishers' representatives, and spoke with them about new books and publishing trends.

These publishers tend to respond more directly and quickly to their readers' interests. In Japan, books reflect the influence of television; one publisher has even produced a series with built-in background music.
