A small, independent moose made the top of an important national booksellers list this month.

The American Booksellers Association released its Winter 2007-2008 Book Sense Children’s Picks list in its November 15 issue of Bookselling This Week. In the #1 spot is Agate: What Good Is a Moose? by locals Joy Morgan Dey and Nikki Johnson and published by Lake Superior Port Cities Inc. of Duluth.

This prestigious list is compiled through the unsolicited input of independent booksellers across the country, making it a particularly exciting honor for the small, family owned Duluth publisher.

Agate: What Good Is a Moose? leads an impressive pack of national children’s books that include world renowned author Cornelia Funke, the newest tale about the beloved pig Olivia by Ian Falconer, and powerhouse publishers such as Harcourt and Putnam.

Lake Superior Port Cities has also created a website for kids, parents and educators which includes puzzles, birthstone facts, coloring pages and lots of other great Agate-related activities and information. View at www.agatethemoose.com.

Agate: What Good Is a Moose? can be found at bookstores around Lake Superior and throughout the Midwest, or ordered directly from the publisher at 310 E Superior Street in Duluth or by calling 1-888-BIG LAKE (888-244-5253) and can be ordered online at www.lakesuperior.com.

Lake Superior Port Cities is the parent company that also publishes Lake Superior Magazine, Lake Superior Travel Guide and numerous regional books and maps.
