SO GOOD. Your book will be made widely known and available to readers, and this is an excellent thing for everyone!

I love that, for some kids, they don't have to go to a bookstore or login somewhere to buy my book.

Sweet! Lucky kids.

[gregvaneekhout]

Thank you! I feel a bit like the luckiest kid.

When I was in grade school, getting that Scholastic catalog was always like the best thing ever.

This is so true. It was like Christmas and birthdays and books all rolled into one.

Congratulations - this is so awesome.

Thanks! Oh, the Mad Libs I bought through Scholastic ...

CONGRATS! Pouring over the Scholastic catalog and circling everything I wanted was one of the highlights of my childhood. My first books on dinosaurs and volcanoes were from Scholastic, and I still have them (because I love dinosaurs and volcanoes as much as books). So yeah, this is AWESOME!

Thank you! For me it was the stuff I mentioned in the post, plus dinosaurs and any kind of natural disaster. I bet I'd recognize some stuff on your bookshelves. :-)
