Happy Holidays from Sock Monkey and Cece Bell

Great news for Itty Bitty!

We just found out today that Cece’s new book, Itty Bitty, is on the ALA Booklist Editor’s Choice list for 2009!! (You may recall that they gave Itty Bitty a starred review awhile back….)

I have a feeling that Itty Bitty would say “All-Rightee!” But don’t quote me on that.

Here are the other Candlewick books that will be on the list! That’s a big Yeeha for Candlewick!

This is the first two Sock Monkey books — Hollywood  & Boogie Woogie — in one awesome and AFFORDABLE volume! It’s only $10!  That’s two-books-in-one for much less than a single book costs.

And remember, it’s only going to be available through Barnes & Noble: Sock Monkey in the Spotlight

Don’t worry, Cece’s fine … just busy.
