Publishers Weekly - 

Children's book publishers from around the world, schedules packed with meetings, award announcements, elegant parties, mouth-watering meals, and—everywhere you look—books: the 2012 Bologna Children's Book Fair was as busy as ever. For those who couldn't attend, here's a photo-tour of this year's show. Enjoy!

The weather was lovely and spirits were high at the 49th Bologna Children's Book Fair.
