As we do most every morning, yesterday morning we got up and sat down at our respective desks. A few minutes into the email-checking exercise, Robbi let out a little squeal and then stood up and did a little dance. “Check your email,” she said excitedly.
Robbi is the keeper of our Google Alert notifications, so it happens occasionally that she will learn of something good that has happened in the onlineosphere first and then stand there dancing until the email makes the glacial crawl across the studio from her screen to mine.
On this occasion, the news was that Bobbledy had gotten a really nice write-up on WIRED.com’s Geek Mom blog.
We met the blogger in question, Amy Kraft, at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Arts festival in NYC last spring, when she stopped by the Idiots’Books table and talked for a while. That meeting resulted in a nice piece on our baby book trilogy.
As was the case for that post, in yesterday’s write-up of Bobbledy, Amy took the time to carefully describe each of the books. And to call us “wickedly funny.” And to urge her readers to “sign your kids up immediately.”
Amy even included a photo of a spread from her own daughter’s version of Gorillas in the Kitchen.
Thanks, Geek Mom, for considering our little venture worthy of a shout out. And thanks for making it such a good shout.
