Readers Abroad

While recently traveling in Madrid, Spain, I stumbled upon an outdoor book fair in Madrid's famous 300 acre park, Parque del Retiro (the former garden of Felipe IV). The book fair featured over 300 independent book vendors who sold everything from local authors, to those we might find in our very own libraries and book stores. In fact, there was a lot of popular American literature available (in Spanish), for children and adult readers alike. Based on what the vendors of juvenile literature were featuring, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid is just as popular with Europeans as it is here in the States.  Check out some of these photos and see if you spot anything familiar...
