Art of Cars 2 Giveaway

by Danielle
Contests + Events + Film / June 13, 2011

Hi there,

As a publicist I sometimes get movie passes for give-away. This time I worked with Disney for a cross promo with Cars 2 and a book from Chronicle Books, Art of Cars 2. Disney was nice enough to send me a few.

So, I have one here (admits 2) for the Vancouver premier on Wednesday June 22, 2011, 7PM at The Scotiabank Theatre on Burrard st.

I also have a book here that I will throw in as well!!

To be entered:

Leave a comment on this post (1 entry)

Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)

“I entered to win The Art of Cars 2 Book and movie pass courtesy of #raincoastbooks #chroniclebooks & #disney!”

I will draw one winner at random from all entries on Friday, June 17th, at 12:00pm (PST). I will be in touch if I draw your name.

Please note: This draw is open to lower mainland residents. Please keep in mind to arrive early as seating is first come first serve and that this ticket does not guarantee you a seat.

**And you have to find your own way to get to the movie.

Good luck!


One Million Copies of Ivy & Bean Sold!

by Crystal
Contests + Kids / April 12, 2010

It doesn't seem like too long ago that I read the first book in the Ivy and Bean series and ran around the office raving to anyone that would listen about how fantastic it was.

Ivy and Bean took me right back to being an 8 year old girl who loved reading and would hole herself up in her room for hours reading Ramona books.

I remember telling all the women that I know that if they loved Ramona books as a kid that they had to go out and pick up Ivy and Bean immediately to share with any young women in their life.

Apparently I am not the only one that loves Ivy and Bean  because... Chronicle Books has just announced that Ivy and Bean has sold 1 Million Copies!

Ivy and Bean author Annie Barrows did this special video to thank everyone who helped her meet this incredible milestone!

 

Check out this great video shot at an Annie Barrows event in celebration of Ivy and Bean Day!

Download your own Ivy and Bean Double-Dare Cootie Catcher like the one in the video!

I also love this book report done by 3rd grade Ivy and Bean fan Leah.

WIN!!!

Want to win an Ivy and Bean Prize Pack including an Ivy and Bean T-shirt, an Ivy and Bean Magnetic Bookmark and an Ivy and Bean book of your choice?

Comment below and tell us what kind of adventure you would like to see Ivy and Bean get into next. We'll choose one winner on May 17.

Good Luck!

by Crystal
Art & Photography + Contests + Kids / March 23, 2010

Have you been introduced to Noonie yet? If not you are in for a great treat! Noonie is the main character of Chronicle Books new kids' fiction title Noonie's Masterpiece. A 10-year-old aspiring artist stuck living with an aunt, uncle, and cousin who clearly don't recognize her genius.

Here... get to know her!

Isn't she great? Don't you just love her?

One of my favourite things about Noonie's Masterpiece is that all of those amazing illustrations that you just saw in the trailer video are in the book! Yep that's right it is filled througout with gorgeous colour illustrations!

Want to be inspired by Noonie? Why not download a free Noonie Art Sheet?

Not only that but comment below with what artist inspires you and you could win a free copy of Noonie's Masterpiece along with a Purple Pigma Micron Pen just like the one that Sarajo Frieden used to illustrate the book! Contest closes April 23rd.
