"Thank you" Autographs!

This month, we offered two "thank you" promotions to our readers:

1. The Octonauts:
The author Meomi is happily handwriting custom dedications for hundreds of readers. You can always still get autographed copies through our website.

2. The Year of the Dragon:
At March's WonderCon, Jennifer Wood drew special pictures of Dominic the dragon in dozens of books. We have since gladly mailed the last few "con" books to eager fans.

As a bonus, we mailed a free 8 x 10 photo collage of the Dragon's cast of characters to people who ordered a copy of the Year of the Dragon and another story.

Author Spotlight - Felicia Hoshino

Felicia Hoshino, an award-winning San Francisco artist www.felishino.com, has written her first book Sora and the Cloud.

The New York Times Book Review offered this praise:

"It is tempting to label “Miyazaki-like” anything appealing to children and Japanese in origin. But in this instance the analogy fits. The nameless cloud is a benign yet mysterious and uncontrollable presence as it lifts Sora, Totoro style, into the sky. There he views a skyscraper mid-construction, an amusement park, a festival of kites and other boyish marvels. Hoshino’s intricate and delicate drawings deliver this parade of sightseeing pleasures in a way that is at once dreamlike and visceral."

Sora has been named a 2011 Book of the Year Finalist by ForeWord magazine.

Welcome to Monster Isle

This is our third iOS app produced by Mobad Media. Welcome to Monster Isle (www.monsterisle.net) is like Gilligan's Island meeting Godzilla!

Now the charismatic illustrations by Jeff Miracola (www.jeffmiracola.com) dynamically spring off the screen in 3D, with sound FX and interactivity. With engaging narration and "read-aloud" playback, this app features a lot of creatures and packs visual punch!

Have fun finding hidden pieces to the island's map (uncovering where each monster lives)and discovering other secrets.

Check it out on iTunes and watch the YouTube video:
