Jean Murray asked James Minter:

Hi James, I'm just about to have my children's story book released on amazon 'Madhead the Crazy Horse' I'm organizing a big launch. Do you think this is a good idea? Kind Regards Jean Murray

James Minter My children's books are aimed at 8 to 11 yr olds. These children tend to like books as opposed to ebooks, as do their schools and libraries. I believe its essential to press-the-flesh with this reader age group and book launches, meet-the-author events, school readings, library appearances are all part of that. I'm just planning a whole bunch of live UK events for November around anti-bullying month.
Good luck with your books - if you find a silver bullet to book marketing I'd love to hear about it.
