LOL! <br /><br />Sorry don't think this post is helping but I have a feeling the media reporting has a lot to do about name recognition. I know celeb's names only because they are written about everyday, in ever newspaper in every magazine in the news, on tv etc.etc. infinitum. And we are talking children here and in this day and age - TV/internet is king and queen and unless authors' names are mentioned here everyday, the kids just won't know. I think so anyway! And unless their books have been made into films/tv series/toys - something visual - there's even less chance of name recognition. Now off I go to google the Gruffalo!<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.com
