riddleburger — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:37:09 +0000

Alright folks, the big day is almost here. On Sept. 20, Barnes & Noble begins selling “Sock Monkey in the Spotlight.”

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.

Cece’s been over in the studio stoking up the machinery and stirring the potions. Folks, there is something big brewing over there and I haven’t been told what it’s about!

There’s lots of other stuff in the works, too … the British version of Bee-Wigged, the B&N Sock Monkey Hollywood/Boogie double book and hopefully some BIG news in the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, I hate to leave the blog sitting empty, so here’s something from our summer vacation:

Itty Bitty gets a STAR from ALA Booklist! & other good tidings

riddleburger — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:44:31 +0000

The review doesn’t seem to be online yet, but Itty Bitty should be getting a starred review from ALA Booklist in the next issue. It’s a swell review, with a really sweet interpretation of the book. I’ll post it when I can find it online.

This is very exciting, since it’s the first starred review either of us has gotten for any of our books. Yeeha!

Also:

Itty Bitty is on this Scholastic.com summer reading list.

And you can click here to see some AWESOME Jerry Bee drawings by kindergartners along with a real nice review.

Bee-Wigged gets a good review on this British site. (I’m not sure if they wrote the review or not. But a good review is a good review…)

This carnival photo cut-out will make it’s debut at today’s Itty Bitty Launch Party! (That’s Cece, of course.)

Itty Bitty happenings…

This is cool … the illustrated interview that Cece did with BookPage is now online. It’s worth a look if you haven’t had a chance to see the print version. (Guess what? I’m in it! Yep, Cece drew a little picture of me in there!)

A nice review from Kids’ Book Corner! (They liked Bee-Wigged, too!)

And kind words from Becky at Young Readers!

And, believe it or not, you can purchase Itty Bitty from AnarchismToday.org — as well as B&N, Amazon, Powell’s or your favorite local bookstore.

PubWeekly digs Itty bitty!

riddleburger — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:45:30 +0000

Cece’s newest book Itty Bitty got a great review from Publishers Weekly to go with the nice Kirkus review a little while back. Yeeha!

[A] sweet and silly picture book that introduces a sunny pup of small size but big personality.

and

[H]is pinpoint eyes, gentle smile and frequent exclamations of delight (“Satisfactory!”) give him lots of warmth.

You can read the whole review over at B&N and, heck, why not buy the book while you’re there?
