Congrats on your new book :D it sure does look absolutely stunning

Good site! I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I’m wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. Have a great day!

This is incredibly good

Great post! Thanks a lot for it.

NIce post really nice!

Its a very good post. I was very pleased to find this site.

cool post! very nice

woa ! Wonderful!

I think I already told you, my son was all for the flatulent reindeer.

Hilarious! Too bad you didn't get away with it.

OMG that is awesome! LOL, I love your farting reindeer!!hahaha :o)

I'm sure that is an amazing book. Your art rocks and seems perfect for this. There is so much humor on your art!!

I want to get my copy. I have to wait till i travel to the US though because there is lots of problems with the mail here nowadays. Oh well..

Congratulations Jannie!!!

Not offensive! Kids would have thought it was a riot I'm sure. I did! haha!

Man! I can't believe they got rid of the farting reindeer. Kids love all things related to farting, pooping and all that good stuff. ha ha. What a drag. Oh well. Final piece looks awesome anyway, even with a straw

I don't see how that is offensive, if I was still a kid I would find it hilarious....heck I still do!

too funny, jannie! i personally think it's hilarious and i bet kids would, too. i can see editors worrying about stuff like that, though. that's their job! thanks for sharing, the book looks fantastic!

I loved the farting reindeer idea! My first thought was that now the reindeer was drinking the hot tub water (and to me that sounds more gross than farting!), so hopefully the kids understand that he was blowing bubbles with a straw. No drinking the tub water, kids! Blech!

I love it and I think they missed the boat on the farting reindeer. Although to be fair, it would have to work with the tone of the overall story, but something tells me that the tone of this story would easily accommodate a farting reindeer. :) AWESOME WORK!!!!! :) :) :) Can't wait to get the book. Is it coming out soon? Or is this going to be released in the future?

Now you know I loved the idea of the farting reindeer when I first saw it (and I'll bet they did too), but if I had been an editor on this book, I would have made the same call. "Better to be safe than sorry", I'm sure they said to themselves. But maybe it could be the subject of a new book: "Ernie the Farting Reindeer". You could pull something like that off in your sweet style and zany side-humor!

Bummer! I think the farting reindeer was so funny! Good for your for not editing yourself and trying it anyway. Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission!

Hey thanks for all the farting support...lol!!!

Kathy- yes, the book is out now..I'm very excited about it!

Paula- what a great idea- I should write my OWN story about a farting reindeer. Yesssssss!!!

It's really lovely! I wouldn't want a farting reindeer I must admit ;)

Hi Jannie!
Sorry I have been out of touch! I just bought your book yesterday! It's great! Hope you have a great holiday!

What better way to be a rebellious reindeer than fart in the water! You should finalize this illustration and auction it off for a flatulant fee...oops...I mean flat fee...hahah Great work!

heee heee, thats so cute and funny

I love the farting! Too bad you had to take it out. My boys would have loved it! My youngest requested and received a remote control farting bear for Xmas one year. You should have seen the look on Santa's face when he asked for it!

I don't have kids yet, but I gotta believe they'd love that. Very funny, I'm sorry you had to change that.

By the way, I wanted to tell you, I spotted the book at Lowe's and quickly bought it. I had planned to go to a book store but who knew I'd find it at the hardware store. They have a limited selection too, so I thought it was pretty special. Nice book!

Heheh, I think it's hilarious! We all fart! :D :D

i like the farting deer too! i must admit we have a holiday farting contest with the family when we are all together. i know, festive! so maybe i'm not the best to judge... he he

That's too bad about loosing the farting reindeer. I know my kids would have spotted it (before me) and would have loved it. That's such a kid thing. Thanks for sharing the sketch :-) I'm going to show my kids and I'm sure it will be tonight's bath conversation (and re-enactment)
Cheers

Oh and thank YOU so much for the review link and of course the wonderful book. A new Christmas favourite in our house.

You are on fire! Such great work Jannie!

I'm working on a christmas book at the moment and got to draw reindeers in a pool too-- but didn't think of them farting!!! Don't think my editor would have gone for that either, but I reckon it's hilarious and I think kids would too!!!
