HUTCH: A Kids’ Literary and Art Magazine
sponsored by The Blue Bunny Bookstore

The Blue Bunny is proud to announce the publication of the premiere issue of HUTCH, a magazine of kids’ stories, poetry and artwork, in Spring 2008. In addition to kids’ contributions, future issues of HUTCH will continue to feature contributions, writing, and art tips by Peter H. Reynolds, and will be edited and produced by Nancy Marsh, who has great experience helping kids publish their work. HUTCH will be a semiannual publication of The Blue Bunny.

We would like thank everyone who contributed to our premiere issue of HUTCH. In June 2008, we gathered to celebrate the launch of the first issue with an evening reception at The Blue Bunny for the kids whose creative work was featured. If you would like to order a copy of HUTCH, you can do so from our online shoppe. HUTCH is available for $8.95 and will be shipped promptly!
