The School Library Journal likes "Cute!"

The March issue of the School Library Journal has a nice review of Cute! A Guide to All Things Adorable:

[This is] a well-researched look at what people find so appealing and why . . . 

Filled with fun facts and interesting tidbits, this is a title that tweens and teens are sure to flip through again and again. 

It's just the kind of book girls will flock to in their libraries and media centers.

Cuteness is happiness!

Over at CuteEverything.com, there's a review for my new book. It reads, in part:

Although I like to think of myself as a sort of connoisseur of cute, I certainly didn’t write the book on it. Bart King, on the other hand, has. In Cute! A Guide to All Things Adorable, he teaches the definitive meaning of cute, delving into just about every cute possibility out there. Cute! tells us how things like animals, polka dots, sparkly things, babies and more all have distinct cute elements, and exactly what those elements are ... In Cute!, Mr. King leads us through all the reasons why “Cuteness is Happiness”!

CUTE— sold out!

Okay, nobody panic . . . but the first print run of Cute! has sold out. Yay!

But your local bookstore may still have some, and both Powell's and Amazon have a few left. If you prefer Barnes & Noble, you can pre-order Cute! now. (The next printing of books arrives later this month.)

Hang tough and stay cute!

I've gotten lots of questions about exactly what's in Cute! So I'm putting up some page previews. First up, the Table of Contents:

The book has a number of running features . . . for example, the series called "Cute Qualities":

There are some controversial aspects to cuteness that are resolved in the Cuteness Courtroom. Here's one now!

I'm realizing I can never preview all the cool stuff in this book, so let me end with a two-page spread from the chapter "Cute Things That Aren't Cute." This part has to do with unicorns!
