The Year of the Rabbit arrives
---
The Rosie is hopping across the country to get ready for 2011!
-
www.immedium.com/products/yearofrabbit.html
Like her relative Bugs Bunny, Rosie will tickle your funny bone and is drawn with colorful flair by the animator Justin Roth.
The sixth in our annual Tales from the Chinese Zodiac series continues to break new ground by subverting all those pernicious bunny stereotypes!
(Cue laugh track and cut to Elmer Fudd saying, "Oh, I'll get that Wascally Wabbit!")
CONTEST ALERT!
We have 7 more "one of a kind" collages (8 x 10 prints).
Order an autographed Year of the Rabbit book, and we'll include this free holiday gift!
C. Thanks for a great 2010!

2. REVIEWS
Space Cadet Topo: the Day the Sun Turned Off
(978-1-59702-022-0, $15.95)
"Those wise owls at Immedium sure know how to spot a cute book when they see one. The latest from them is Space Cadet Topo… which is a tale of him saving the solar system with his sidekick Tinny Bot. Perfect for little kids or cute-loving bigger kids!"
- Super Cute Kawaii

Sid the Squid and the Search for the Perfect Job
(978-1-59702-021-3, $15.95)
"Sid the giant squid, with his many useful arms and huge, expressive eyes… unsuccessfully directs traffic, fights fire, cooks in a restaurant, washes windows, and attempts other work to great comic effect...it's hilarious to see Sid's multitasking legs in handsome, computer-generated cartoon illustrations rendered by a seasoned DreamWorks story artist."
