Everyone has a favorite childhood book. Maybe there was one special book that had to be read before bed, or an assignment from school led to a passion for one author. No matter the circumstances, everyone has benefited from the number of children's book publishers. Children's book publishers have benefited from many emerging authors over the years, with each publishing house having rights and production for multiple children's book super stories.
The largest among children's book publishers is a subsidiary of Random House Inc.
Random House Inc. is made up of many divisions, including Bantam Books, Random House Children's Books, RH Large Print and RH Audio Publishing. Some divisions, like Bantam Books, cater specifically to adult fiction and non-fiction, while others are a part of the largest English language children's trade book publisher. Many other children's book publishers would love to have the extensive list of popular children's titles available through Random House Children's Books. Dr. Seuss, Sesame Street, Thomas the Tank, Disney and Nickelodeon are some of the big names published through Random House. The rise of characters such as Dora the Explorer and Elmo, as well as the new Disney movies, help keep Random House at the top of the list of children's book publishers.
One of the leading children's book publishers is Harper Collins. Harper Collins has traditional titles such as “Charlotte's Web” and “Goodnight Moon,” while still adding new books to their production lines. “The Princess Diaries” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” are two Harper Collins titles that recently had a rise in literary popularity due to the theatrical release of the title. Many educational institutions from grammar schools to high schools often use comparative learning by viewing a movie after reading the title in literary format.
As Harper Collins is known for “Charlotte's Web,” another leading publisher is known by its traditional titles. An important merger in 1996 led to the formation of the publisher Penguin Putnam. Penguin Books USA and The Putnam Berkley Group merged to form Penguin Putnam, more commonly known as Penguin Group. Though the merger is new, tradition has lay the foundation for an impressive future. Timeless characters such as Pippi Longstocking and Peter Rabbit are a part of the Penguin Putnam family.
The final large name in children's literature is Scholastic. Scholastic is among the most recognized children's book publishers because of its availability in schools. The company sells books through grade schools, allowing teachers to order books for classroom libraries and students to purchase fun new literature in a convenient setting. Many popular series have emerged from Scholastic, including Goosebumps, Star Wars and Harry Potter. Children beginning series reading often anticipate the new releases, and some series have resulted in over 100 titles as well as spin off series, which provide large revenue for children's book publishers.
The many leading children's book publishers all share the international fame that comes with producing important literature. Children's book publishers constantly supplement their traditional and well-known authors with new authors and unique material. The ability to satisfy expectations of innovation, quality and excitement has led to the success of many children's book publishers.
