As I am always quick to point out: I know next to nothing, professionally, about children's publishing. I edit art books for grown-ups for a living, and glimpse just enough of the workings of our excellent children's book department at Chronicle Books to realize what a different animal publishing for small people is, and how little I understand it. That said, I do have a kid who's about to turn four, and I always think around the birthday is a nice time to check in with her reading tastes and fancies. So here are a few of the volumes that have been in heavy rotation around our house lately--
