There's been a lot of well-deserved hype around The Dangerous Book for Boys, and subsequently The Daring Book for Girls.
Another book that might fall just beneath the radar deserves a good look. Howtoons, published by the creators of the magazines Make and Craft, teaches kids how to make their own cool toys. Using a graphic novel format, the book follows the exploits of Tucker and Celine, a brother and sister pair who decide to make their own fun.

The Muggle Mixer was primarily a success because of volunteers. People who haven't worked at the store for 5 years, along with their children, came to make it work. Harry Potter launches at McNally Robinson are about people having fun and without those volunteers, it would have been a far less exciting affair, and far more chaotic.
We estimate that 3500 people went through the store Friday night between 10:00pm and 1:30am. Others merely came by the tent outside to pick up their copy of the book and slipped away, but there was no way to quantify the overlap.
