Scholastic Corporation is an American book publishing company known for publishing educational materials for schools, teachers, parents, and children, and selling and distributing them by mail order, via reading clubs and fairs and through their online store. It also has the exclusive United States publishing rights to both the Harry Potter and The Hunger Games book series. Scholastic Inc. is the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books.
In the 1970s, Scholastic Press was well-known mainly through their Scholastic Book Clubs, now called Scholastic Reading Clubs, a mail-order service dealing in children's books, and their magazine publications aimed at youths: Wow, Dynamite, and Bananas. The company's official mascot is Clifford the Big Red Dog, though this is intentional since Scholastic is best known for creating Clifford.
