That is so awesome. I almost wish I could write that genre just so I could have a similar moment. Oh well. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Now that's an experience I've never remotely had. I'm a bit jealous. WEll, really jealous.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! I SAW IT! I was so excited for you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! It's such a fun book, I am not a bit surprised. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! And enjoy dancing around in your pajamas, cause that's just fun. :)
That is so fabulous! WOW!! How very satisfying!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Barrie! That's excellent!!
ReplyDeleteBarrie, this has to be a dream come true. Did you have Scholastic book orders in Canada? It was always the happiest day of school when you went in and saw the piles on your teacher's desk and knew yours were in there. And now YOURS IS in there! Congratulations--you deserve it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cool. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased with you that I almost swallowed my envy, LOL!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend

That officially makes you BIG TIME. And I knew you when...
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Scholastic book sale! Congrats on being part of something that brings kids so much joy.
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly satisfying moment.
ReplyDeleteOur bookfair rolls around in a couple of weeks I will keep my eyes peeled for your books. I think it will be easy to find readers in my school for them.
Hooray! I bow before your Scholastic awesomeicity!
ReplyDeleteWOOHOOOOO!!! That is awesome! What a feeling! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! This is huge and well deserved. You so do editor's choice. Happy, happy day.
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteNow more girls will discover the goodness that is Sherry Holmes Balwin.
Congrats
Congratulations, and well deserved.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking your kids must be so excited to see Mum's book out there and be able to point it out to their friends. :-)
And the blog world is dancing with you, Barrie! It's a wonderful book. Kudos!!
ReplyDeletegrats barrie!
ReplyDeletei see you've already adopted the yankee spelling for 'pyjamas' :P lol
Laughingwolf, I thought it looked kind of funny. But the red line for misspelled didn't pop up. So, I just thought, well, okay, that must be it. :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for you, Barrie. It must make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! That is SO COOL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat kicks #**!!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhhh!! That's awesome! I used to order tons of books from Scholastic! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Barrie!! Our family has loved Scholastic books for three generations now! Way to go. (Don't dance a hole into your pajama feet... you wouldn't want cold toes.)
ReplyDeletehow incredibly awesome!!! congrats! i think we get in our scholastic fliers next week--i'm so going to look for it and tell my 3rd graders! :)
ReplyDeleteso now i can say i know somebody from the scholastic take-home catalogue (my own claim to fame)
ReplyDeleteand be proud because it's in there for the book and not the cute gadget that comes with it (or does it come with a cell phone?)
Gabe: Just the book. No gadgets. ;) ALTHOUGH imagine the sales if it came with a cell phone! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, very funny that you mentioned this because when my kids bring home their scholastic catalogue, I always say to them, "We're here for the books." :)
Becky, these are available in Canada. One of my sisters is a teacher and will be sending home a catalogue just like this with her students!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love the photos leading up to the written post.
ReplyDeleteSqueeeee! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Barry, and thank you for sharing. That is soooo exciting! That and the dance party. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour hard word is paying off.
It's every children's writers' dream. And you are living it. :)

((Hello))
ReplyDeleteThe book looks and sounds so awesome. I read the first chapter and had to have it! So I requested it from the library and it should be here by Monday. I'm truly looking forward to reading it :).
Thank you very much for stopping by my blog and saying Hi, I really appreciate that :)
Have a great Sunday!
Gayla
PS: Love your blogs layout....very creative and colorful. I'm working on improving mine because I hate the way it looks..LOL :)
I'm too late to offer up a unique congratulatory message, but this couldn't go unacknowledged. You da man!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Very exciting. This is a book I have had on my "list" - can't wait to read it! I'll have to look in my Scholastic flyer next month.
ReplyDeleteDrat, drat, drat! I've been waiting for this, and my son only brought home Lucky, not Arrow!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I have been watching my Sons scholastic orders to see if it is in there. Hopefully you will make it into the Canadian edition too!
ReplyDeleteThat is freaking awesome! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThat must feel pretty cool.
