The book proof is here!

June 29th, 2010

Book ProofOur pet Nanook thinks you’re gonna love this!

Yes! And it couldn’t have been delivered on a better day because today it’s my wife’s birthday. And it’s also my nephew’s birthday, Alex, who appears in the book because he was born last year when I was drawing one of it’s characters: Alexbaggex.

So the good news is that the book looks terrific to us. It doesn’t need any major changes, just a few small corrections here and there but nothing really time consuming. And you should have seen Naomi and me crying when we first looked at it together. Yes, I have to admit we are a teary-eyed couple when it comes to silly animals…

In a few days, I’ll be announcing all details about the Limited Pre-order Edition. It’s time to get a bunch of them delivered!

Words from the readers...

I love everything about the book: the wonderful illustrations (obviously), the layout that compliments them so well, all those awesome black and white decorations, the fonts, the text itself, the handwritten notes surrounding every pet, the… everything.

In his own unique way and with this unique and perceptive vision (mixed with a generous dollop of gentle humour), Koldo has created a book that is, at its core, about love, honesty, acceptance and a generosity of spirit. The delightful optimism of childhood is alive in these pages.

This is a book for twilight, to read by the light from a jar of fireflies. It draws you into a fantastical part of our world that’s there if you just look for it hard enough. It’s fantastical creatures are brimming with personality and each one is looking for friendship. They say that each of us has our own Kooky Pet just waiting to find us.

Kooky Pets is a beautifully illustrated book, full of characters that will make you laugh and wonder about your own Kooky Pet. If I had children, I would buy a copy and share it with them every night. I don’t have children, so I can’t share it with them. But you know, reading through this reminds me how much fun it was to play with the Kooky Pets of my childhood. It brings me so much joy to read and look at, I just might have to buy a copy to share with myself every night!
