ßßßß CELEBRATING 150 YEARS Dear fellow reader, We are bursting with pride to be celebrating our sesquicentennial—150 years of publishing books for young readers—in 2014. It means that HMH (called Hurd & Houghton at the time) started publishing books for “boys and girls” during the Civil War—an incredibly rare and enduring legacy. Many of our books have won awards, many have been bestsellers, and, best of all, many have made a real difference in the lives of children and adults. It’s exciting to consider that in 2014 we stand on the broad shoulders of colleagues who came before us, publishing wonderful books such as these since 1864. This catalog contains our new titles for Spring 2014, joining a long line of terrific books for children of all ages. Thank you for your support in helping us achieve this historic milestone in our history together, and, of course, here’s to 150 more glorious years! Please celebrate with us as we start our sesquicentennial year with the Spring 2014 list.
