Thanks to Alicia Padrón for taking this awesome picture at her Barnes and Nobles! I'm going to enjoy every moment of this till they take it off the shelves after Halloween. Now everyone go to your nearest bookstore, find my book and make sure it is, um, "strategically placed"...*wink wink nudge nudge* :-)Its also interesting to see what other Halloween books are out there. When I was working on this book, it was no where near Halloween. Now I can look back and see what other quirky things/ideas I might of missed.
This week I am taking a class and a much needed mini vacation. I'm sure there will be interesting things to report back. Have a good week, everyone.

Very cool! Congratulations! It looks awesome. Yay you!
WAY TO GO! I'm so very excited for you. I'm going to the bookstore this week so I'll check to see that they've placed it in an acceptable location and if they haven't there will be Heck to pay!

YAY! Front and center - Perfect!! I'll go down this week and make sure it's in a place of honor. I do that with all my friends books (they must love me!)
Wow, look at the books surrounding yours! You are in some great company (Go Away, Big Green Monster...Clifford...Magic Treehouse)...plus even better, your book is the most prominently one displayed!!!! COOL! It looks like the most awesome one there! All the kiddies are going to LOVE your book best of all, it's so cute!
Oh this is just too exciting. I ordered your book already, by I might not be able to wait, I might have to toddle over to B&N and see how they're treating your book and get me one! Congrats again!!!

Let me tell you.. it was the best halloween book there!! Such a beautiful book Jannie. You did an amazing job, really :o)
Have fun on your break!!!
Yay the book looks great and really stands out from the rest ;)
I was in Barnes and Noble on Sat and saw the book!! It looked great! I didn't realize they did some special effects with raising the images and putting a coating on them, I am not sure what they call that.
Anyway congrads!!
awww, thank you so much for everyone's support!
yipee! that is so cool! it looks fantastic!
I received mine yesterday via Amazon! I'll have you know my 4 year old has made me read it 70 billion times already, not sure if I should thank you ;) my 2 year old has been flipping through it and pointing at the characters, might need to get him his own copy. My personal favorite part is the blood filled juice boxes, beautiful! Oh, and sorry I never comment but I read your blog habitually and LOVE your creativity.

Cheers!

I have a sweet award waiting for you on my blog!
YEAHHHHH!!!! That is so darn cool and exciting I'm typing like a kid on halloween opening his candy bag for the first time ever. I wish we had Barnes & Noble in Canada... is it sold in Chapters (that's our version of B&N)? ;) Anway, thanks to the internet I can buy it online instead.
good luck with sales!
Congrats, Jannie! And you can't beat that centered, out-front positioning! Here's to it's great success!
funny, i was just talking about how i wished my book was "strategically" placed at barnes for halloween.
good for you. the book cover stands out among the rest of the books and that should definitely help the sales.
jannie, we'll met next week? I hope so!
Hey how AWESOME! Big congratulations! You deserve to be out there :-)

YAYYYYYY! This is so awesome and I can't wait to October 3rd my birthday so I can treat myself to a copy! How wonderful is this. Happy, happy joy, joy, joy, joy!!!
Weeeeee! That is so much fuunn!!!! I am going on a search for your book later this afternoon. Not only will I buy it, but I'll take a picture of it in the store for you. I'm so thrilled for you Jannie. And look how much much MUCH more fun it looks among all the others sitting there.
Nice to see it in the bookshop. You must be very proud.
Jannie!! This is so great!! Congratulations on your book! I just ordered my very own personal copy. Now to sit by the door tapping my foot, waiting for the UPS guy. So ya think if I rub the cover a few times, like a little golden Genie (Jannie) Lamp, it will give me good luck and one day one of my little books will find thier way to a fantastic display area like yours!? ;o) Hahah
I'm happy for you, truly. Doesn't it look just so great on that stand? I would stand there all day in the book store staring at it... soooo coooool...
Congratulations! Your book looks great and deserves to be "strategically placed"!
Yea for you, I saw it too! It was wonderfully done - good job!
That is fantastic news! Congrats on your book! I'll have to buy a copy. Hope all is well!
Hi there; back again! I needed some more of your chicken greatness! You wanted to know about some of the places I like to go in the city. I love look and shop so Purl Soho, for fabric and yarns, Cobzi's for some of the most beautifully hand made clothing, dolls, and baby clothing! The owner is also a children's book Illustrator and is so warm and friendly. Cobzi.com. It's just Wonderful! The Brownstone up in Harlem for of course more clothing and had made earrings, rings and other delicious things. Thanks Chickengirl you always make my day. Have lots of fun!
Congrats, Jannie! That's pretty exciting! I'll have to go check Babar's store window and see if you're book is there.
Our B&N in Newington, NH had your book placed just underneath (facing out of course!)the very big deal book 'Bats in the Library' - not on the table, just across from it, on another display area. Probably a better spot than the table at this particular store. I picked up my copy and it's really fantastic - I'm very impressed with the printing and the spot UV - I also thought it was very inexpensive for how well made the book is - well done Jannie!!!
What a kick! Congrats! Does it feel real?
Congratulations, your work is truly magnificent!
How exciting and wonderful! Congrats Jannie :)
