Book trailers are like\u00a0short\u00a0advertisements\u00a0for a book. They are trying to hook you into wanting to read the book, just like movie\u00a0trailers try to\u00a0interest you in\u00a0the movie.\u00a0Book trailers may include short excerpts\u00a0(quotations) from the book and\/or pictures. They can be for novels or picture books. They are often\u00a0produced by the book’s publisher to promote the book\u00a0so more people will buy it.<\/p>\n
I like the idea of book trailers because it is another way for me to get you thinking about books and how technology and books can interact! Look for more book trailers to be posted on this blog in the future.<\/p>\n
Here are some of my favourite book trailers: (These are from YouTube and yes, we have all of these books in our library)<\/p>\n
