Book Four: (Title to be announced later)
The green folder above is filled with a lot of stuff for Book Four.
What kind of stuff?
Twenty, thirty year old story fragments and idea shards,
pages that are in layout stage or totally finished
that just didn't feel right in the Springtime cycle
and were deemed to be premature for "Here There."

Yay! Even though I have all the issues, I'd like to buy the first two of these again. Looking forward to the upcoming now-ness.
Oh man.
This is the sort of post that gives me chills. Great stuff.

My daughter's face lit up when I told her the new Beanworld was finished and would be out this fall!
She immediately made me start rereading Vol. 1 to her.
Willow's been LOOOOVING the first Beanworld book, we've been talking about the story and characters all week, though she asked me what the 'holy polies' eat, and I couldn't answer that, because I don't know! Do they soak in minerals from the chow as well?
She's very excited about the second book, and I'm resisting the temptation to just break out my issues and let her read them now.
Me, I'm excited for book three - that's totally going to be my birthday present to myself this year!
I own the original issues, but they're in a box somewhere. I'm not going to pull them out, because I'm really enjoying reading it in the new format. I feels good to hold these hardcovers.
I read Wahoolazuma to my son Eli and he absolutely loved it. We'll definitely get "A Gift Comes" when it's available.
I do think the story-telling technique gets a little redundant when not being read as a serial, though... I'm referring to the way that the details of how the world works is repeated in each issue. However, I think that this continuing repetition is one of the things that my son responded to. It's part of what makes it a unique and curious book, I guess.
WAHOOLAZUMA! I love Beanworld! Can't wait to see the new one. (Hey, can I get a Boom'r Beans tee?)
