Penguin Random House is suing OpenAI in Germany, claiming ChatGPT unlawfully memorized and reproduced the copyrighted children's book series "Coconut the Little Dragon". According to the lawsuit, prompting the AI resulted in text, a book cover, and a blurb that were virtually indistinguishable from the original.

I’m looking for a book to gift at a baby shower.

The family has a golden retriever and seems to be going with a dog theme for their nursery (all of the registry items I got for them are dog themed), so I thought it would be fun to pair my gift with a children’s book featuring a golden! My generic searches online haven’t helped, and I haven’t had much luck at my local children’s stores.

Any ideas here? I’m also open to books with dogs in general. Worst case, I’m going to get one of the Biscuit books, but I’m hoping to find something a little younger!

My LO is obsessed with Jamberry. We can read it many times a day and it always keeps his attention. He loves the illustrations. He isn’t really interested in other books like that but does prefer rhyming ones.

I’m looking for other books to add to our repertoire. Please let me know. Thanks!

My three year old son loves books, and we have a massive library of children's books that we read every day, but recently he's become curious about the natural world.

I remember having a series of children's books about animals that I think he'd really enjoy. Not necessarily for reading, but for learning about nature. we recently found a frog in our back yard and he was enthralled. I remember have a book as a kid about the life cycle of a frog and the different types of frogs but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called. he's also interested in bats and butterflies (as was I).

I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for these types of books. I think we'd prefer actual pictures of animals. more science type books for kids over stories. Of course, he wouldn't mind more stories either.

thank you in advance!

As someone who grew up watching football every chance I got, tracking goals and scores in notebooks, filling out brackets and Panini albums, it pains me to see that everything surrounding the upcoming World Cup feels more like a cash grab than celebrating and uniting the world around the beautiful game.

In the era of short videos and AI slops, I wanted to create something real that feels more like a keepsake and less like a gambling hobby for kids. So, a few months ago, I created a children's activity book series called “The 12th Player”. As of yesterday, my new book dedicated to the upcoming tournament has been published on Amazon!

This book is to encourage young fans around the world to cut down on screen time during the upcoming tournament, write about the matches, players, and their feelings about the sport, set goals and track their progress throughout the tournament, engage in creative activities, and create lifelong memories.

It’s a passion project, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’d mean the world to me if you’d check it out and consider ordering a copy for a young fan in your life who could enjoy a more analog experience throughout the tournament. Thanks for your support!
