Dear Friends,
Once upon a time in San Francisco, a vision-
ary publishing company decided to create a
childrens list. And when it did, it ollowed
its guiding principle to see things differently.
Ever since that first list was published twenty-
five years ago, Chronicle Books has dazzled
booklovers and gif givers with distinctivequality and a unique point o view.
Were proud to be creative risk-takers, as
youll see in these pages. The heart o our
list remains the simple-yet-brilliant concept
book. Over the years, weve nurtured kids
imaginations with story and character-
driven picture books, fiction or all ages,
and beguiling ormats, licensed publishing,
stationery, and games. Our aim, as always,
is to surprise and delight readers rom 1 to
100 with one-o-a-kind publishing.
To all o you who have helped make our story
so extraordinary: THANK YOU!
Heres to the first glorious twenty-five years
and many more ever afer!

The Templeton Twins Have an IdeaBook 1
By Ellis Weiner Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes
Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John andAbigail Templeton. Lets say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and
Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their
father was a brilliant, if sometime confused, inventor. And suppose that another
set of twinsadultsnamed Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, kidnapped
the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to
turn over one of his genius (sort of ) inventions. Yes, kidnapped. Wouldnt it
be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Now in paperback, this is
just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and
funny (just like the twins), and enjoy reading adventurous stories (who
doesnt?!). And now, theres more!

The Templeton Twins Make a SceneBook 2
By Ellis Weiner Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes
With its kid-perfect humor and dynamic illustrations, Book 1 of the hilariousTempleton Twins series left young readers clamoring for more. This time,
Abigail and John Templeton find themselves at TAPAS (the Thespian Academy
of the Performing Arts and Sciences) where their father, the illustrious Profes-
sor Templeton, has been hired to invent a groundbreaking theatrical device.
Once again, there is drama (of course!), silliness, and suspense, as the twins
(and their ridiculous dog) must thwart the dastardly Dean brothers in order
to save the invention as well as their father (and the dog). Oh yes, there is
sure to be another recipe. This time for guacamole. Or is it coleslaw?
T empleto in ar c!REA DE RS O F THE F IR ST BO OK will
be deliriously happy to encounter John and
Abigail Templeton again in this book. How-ever, if they hoped (because they loved the
first book so very much) that the entire
story of this book would be the same as the
story in the first, they will be disappointed.
Theyre not the only ones. Im disappointed,
too. I would much rather copy, word for
word, the first book, than have to think of an
entirely new series of words for the second
book. But, sadly, I have no choice. I hope youappreciate all the trouble Im going to,
thinking up and writing down all these new
words. But I doubt that you do.

blocks for every number. Begin with the two simplest digits: 0 and 1. With
each turn of a page, the same shapes slide into place to form 2, then 3, all
the way up to 10. The magical transformations in Numerowill inspire children
and adults alike to look at numbers in a whole new way.
