@Bearportpub is #hiring an editor! Are you a fun, smart, and kind human who wants to work alongside other fun, smart, and kind humans? Do you know how to edit children's nonfiction? Hey, you should apply! 🐻https://t.co/Vu6HdUl9Yi

Mouse deer. Look it up. You’re welcome.

Check out some STEM-y summer reads that will make a splash from @ALA_Booklist! If you look closely, you might spot a bear swimming amongst the mix (fun fact: bears can, indeed, swim... not sure if that is exciting or terrifying). 🐻🤿 @Bearportpub https://t.co/pDLMX84xO9

Another starred review from @ALA_Booklist! The Fossils Uncovered graphic nonfiction series follows paleontologists making groundbreaking discoveries. "A clever combination of high-interest dinosaurs and problem solving." These aren't your typical dino books 🐻🤩🦖@Bearportpub

For the second year in a row @Bearportpub was included in the annual top 10 series nonfiction list from @ALA_Booklist! So proud of our fantastic graphic nonfictions series Rescued! Animal Escapes "combining high-interest topics in an action-packed graphic-novel series format" 🐻

Sometimes my brain breaks as I edit complicated concepts into manageable bites for young readers. But then there are times when I remember why it's all worth it. @Bearportpub just received mail from a kiddo who loved one of our books. ❤️ #kidlit #amediting #daymaker

[Allison Juda @AllisonJuda]

Is it just me or does the latest version of Word’s comments feature drive anybody else crazy? It feels much more laborious for someone actually wanting to edit a document. Okay, rant over. #AmEditing #pushinganextrabuttonishard

When you publish a series and immediately see something new and incredible that would have been a perfect fit. Don't get me wrong, Shark Shock from @Bearportpub is awesome. But we didn't include baby ghost sharks. #instantregret https://t.co/nqb5D4emLs

[Allison Juda @AllisonJuda]

In the mood for something to lift your spirits? Doggy helpers, anybody? @ALA_Booklist knows what's up! "Most kids have a soft spot for pups, so the Heroic Dogs series is sure to be a hit." Check out the latest furry @Bearportpub series! #HeroicDogs

[Allison Juda @AllisonJuda]

Whale sharks have scaly, toothlike structures on their EYEBALLS. Sometimes I am simultaneously fascinated and terrified by the fun facts I learn working in children's books. #sharkshock #kidlit

There is nothing like the smell of a new book straight from the printer! #booknerd

@Mandi_Andrejka That carrot was SO loud!

Tuesday: accidentally attracts several persistent hornets to the table while eating outside with coworkers. Today: drops my glass of water into a burrito bowl and flings water and various burrito toppings at a coworker. Should I report myself to HR? #lunchtimehazard

SEL for our kiddos is more important than ever. Which is why I was thrilled with the recent @Bearportpub series Colorful Minds: Tips for Managing Your Emotions. @ALA_Booklist called it "upbeat and constructive," adding that it is “a useful addition to any SEL shelf.” #SEL #kidlit

Tomorrow! Do you have your tickets yet? We're so excited to hear what Jenn Baker has to say.

Microsoft word is now trying to tell me when it sees embarrassing words...? Wait, what?
