We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

From the publisher

They published their first children’s book in 1931. The d’Aulaires worked as a team on both art and text throughout their joint career, publishing more than twenty picture books and receiving high critical acclaim for their distinguished contributions to children’s literature.

Media reviews

“The animals, in rich colors, the companionable cat and dog, the horse in the field, the elephant which the little boy plans to ride and the indomitable Ola himself, are very amusing. The gentle absurdity of the story and its lively action will please and satisfy 3 to 5 year olds.” –The New York Times

"Universal gay appeal can exist with distinction of execution, as in the d'Aulaires's Too Big." –The New York Times, November 11, 1945

"Those familiar with D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths will appreciated the New York Review Books' efforts to unite the authors' backlist." –Publishers Weekly

"The d'Aulaires were, of course, the singularly gifted author-illustrators, creators, by the score, of timeless children's books...a number of their books...are still in print, classics that make for perfect gifts each and every year." –Smithsonian Magazine
