For those who have listened to the "Sold a Story" podcast by journalist Emily Hanford or read her work on reading curriculum, this is probably not a surprise.

Class-action lawsuit filed against a publisher for false claims about its reading curriculum.

Lawsuit calls reading curriculum 'deceptive' and 'defective'
A class-action lawsuit filed in Massachusetts claims that the educational publishing company Heinemann falsely advertised its products as “research-backed” and “data-based.”

I can't speak for other authors but I view this mostly as advertising to an audience that I might not otherwise be visible to, with a benefit to a charity I like, plus I'll get paid a bit. I was in the very first Humble Book Bundle ever and that did very well. This will do less, but still well.
What do authors think of Humble Bundles? As a reader, I love them. Just curious what you thought?

The stupendous switcheroo by Mary Winn heifer and Chad sells is part graphic novel, part chapter book with illustrations and format changes that keep kids engaged.

We enjoyed it a lot but the cliffhanger is absolutely rough. Make sure to prep your kids that the story will continue.

The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom is an excellent followup to the First Cat in Space ate pizza. Your favorite characters are back and the writing and art is fun and engaging

And the jokes will make kids and adults laugh.

Tip: do voices.

If you have a chance to see Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris read from their graphic novel "The first Cat in Space Ate Pizza" absolutely do it. We saw them tonight and it was the funniest live reading/show I have seen in a long time. #kidlit #books #booksky
