2011 Manila International Book Fair


Come to the Book Fair! It's located at SMX, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City. It's from September 14-18, 10am-8pm.

Also, my new book will be launched at the OMF booth (located along aisle D). It's entitled The Great Duck and Crocodile Race. Watch Duck and Crocodile out-do each other at the turn of every page. Who will reach the end of the book first? It's anybody's guess!

I'm well aware you can stand in front of the shelves and read the whole thing through without buying a copy to find out how it ends, but I'm hoping you enjoy the book enough to want to keep a copy on hand whenever you get that familiar urge that comes to us once or twice a day when we just have to see a duck and crocodile race.

I plan to drop by the OMF booth on the 14th and the 16th. I'll have my pen ready for anyone who wants their copy signed. Also on sale will be my other books - What Beetle Can Do and Bullysaurus Rex. Do visit Adarna House at booth 213-215 and ask them for my books - Mister Beetle's Many Rooms and Diego and Marie in A Secret Sense of Home.

Hi Sir Robert!
We met yesterday at the MIBF together with Kerwin :) We read the book to our son Kyle Zachary this morning when he woke up....and the race was a hit to him! We read it 3 times straight and our guess was right, he wants the crocodile to win :D hehe. But he was also happy to know that they both made it to the end! He loves the drawings, especially the one with a hot-air balloon cat, he loves cats and he has a "comfort toy" that looks just like your drawing :) haha, that explains it!

Congratulations again for the book...and it was great to meet you! More books to come!

Januari :)

Thanks so much guys! I'm so glad you and Kyle enjoyed the book together. When I got home that evening, my wife was eager to share the book with our 19 month old boy who pretty much flipped through it, crumpled it, used it as a floor mat, and kept going back to that two-page spread near the end that had the LEAST drawings and NO words. Ah, kids. :-)
