Snuggle up with MENO!
Happy Holidays Dear Readers of My Blog!
I hope 2009 was a fine year for you, despite its economical ups-and-downs and scary amounts of unemployment. During times like this, I am reminded that support from my fans and friends for my books affords my family a comfortable life allowing me to keep creating. So thank you.
Angela and I have been promoting our silly toddler book series, Adventure of Meno, with a whole slew of what I like to call “Crafty Mom Blogs”. I like these blogs greatly because:
A. My mom was (and still is) a crafty mom.
B. Ang and I both love doing a craft with our daughter, Sophia.
Ang found a wonderful local seamstress to create custom Meno cloud blankets which are being given away at various Crafty Mom Blogs. All you have to do is leave a comment on their post and you could win a blanket of your choice, PLUS a signed copy of Meno books 1 and 2! Below are some of the sites participating, more will be posted soon as these contests will run into January…
Good luck Crafty Readers!

I purchase two of you illustration books : Field Guide and Care of Sprites.I found them very very inspirationals !!!
I draw and paint a little too… mainly watercolors , if you want to have a look , here it is : tobalacuarelas.blogspot,com and moleskineando.blogspot,com.Any comment will be very appreciate!!!
Do you have more ilustration books of your art? I´ll like to get them!

Hi Cristobal,
Nice work, I especially like the watercolor studies from life in your moleskine. I do not have an “Art of” book out at this time, I want to wait until I have a hefty amount of art before doing so…and I am getting there:)
Hi, Tony. Nice to visit your blog. I’m from China.I try to find your email address, then just see your blog. Amazing, cool…Well, I wonder whether your the Demonata series have sold copyright in China. Or have you already authorized some agency who we can contact?
^^ We are so intersted in it.
Hi Wendy, what’s Demonata?
Hi Tony, I mean the Spiderwick Chronicles.^^
Thanks for answering , Tony!
I´ll look forward to your work , I ´ll like a new book with your illustrations!
Cheers from Spain!
HI Mr. Tony!
I was wondering when you are having another art contest again. If so, could I participate by emailing my art in to you? It would be so awesome! I won 3rd place at a drawing contest once. That was fun. But this would be even better! Is there any chance you could do another contest? I didn’t get to participate in any of the previous ones but I would love to have a chance now!
I really really reallly reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy want to own the 5 spiderwick books… the fantastical edition. So I’m saving up for it. I cannot wait till I own my own copy!

Hi Emily,
Thanks for writing. It means a lot to me that you are such a fan. I am sure I’ll cook up another contest soon. Stay tuned!
No worries there! I read your blog more than I do my own!
