I'd like to introduce to you the project that has consumed me at work for the last year and a half. It's my "super-secret project," the "next big thing," and the work accomplishment I am most proud of. (It has only just shipped, so we are only beginning to see sales—but I'm so confident, I am going to go ahead and count my chickens.)
It's Hallmark's latest and greatest, the Be a Part of the Story Interactive Storybook. We are launching with three titles; the Christmas book,
A Visit to the North Pole, is the very first to get to market. These books are very cool. They use "I Reply" voice recognition technology. When a parent reads certain phrases aloud, the main character speaks directly to your child with a question or comment about the story. The child's response triggers an appropriate response from the character. The experience is truly magical—for kids and parents.
In addition to the Santa story, we have two everyday books. I edited
All Aboard, a superfun train story that I can't wait to share with Milo. A coworker of mine developed
A Day at Fairy Grandmother's, which is full of surprises and silliness.
If you have kids ages 3–6(ish), I encourage you to buy one (or all) of these books. I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed.

If the train book and the fairy Godmother book are not on your Christmas list for Austin and Esther, let me know---I'll get them for them.
Happy to hear working is going well. I am going to have to look real hard to find a kid that likes trains to buy All Aboard for.
