Count Dagmar Interactive eBook Released!
10.25.11 | Guinevere de la Mare | Children's, Chronicle Books News, Digital Books
Count Dagmar has a new haunt! Just in time for Halloween, everyone’s favorite vegetarian vampire is on the loose in a brand new interactive ebook for your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch available on the iBookstore. Little ghosties and goblins can help Count Dagmar get ready for his party by counting fuzzy bats, silly monsters, and friendly spiders in this delightfully wacky and sweet interactive book by renowned artist J.otto Seibold (Vunce Upon a Time, Other Goose, Olive, the Other Reindeer).
The ebook is stuffed with interactive tricks and treats. Kids can read, listen, play, and count from one to ten billion—or at least from one to ten—while lighting up jack-o-lanterns, rattling skeletons, and setting owls aflutter. Plus, fans and friends of Chronicle Books might also recognize the narrator’s voice as that of our very own company owner and fearless leader, Nion McEvoy.
To celebrate, we’re giving away a J.otto Seibold Halloween prize pack! Tell us what your little pumpkin is dressing up as this year and enter to win a copy of Vunce Upon a Time and the Count, Dagmar! board book. We’ll choose two winners at random from the comments and announce a winner on Thursday, October 27.
Happy Halloween!

Rapunzel for us this year – she’s beyond excited! She’d also be beyond excited to win those books. Thanks for the great giveaway!
A block of cheese complete with mouse emerging from one of the holes.
One child is going to be Tintin and the other Woody from Toy Story.
As of this moment she wants to be a cowgirl. We've run the gamut from Dora, princess, ladybug, etc so who knows by time Halloween arrives :)
I've no children of my own, but I do teach Kindergartners! This year the popular costume seems to be tied between witches and Dora. We'll see what happens on the actual day :). They change their mind almost hourly!
I've got a duck, Capt. Jack Sparrow, and a skeleton cowboy.
Love his work! Found him through Olive the Other Reindeer, as we have our own Olive-dog in our house.
We have loved J.Otto's books since we met him at Nordstrom in the early 90's when he was signing copies of Olive the Other Reindeer. Go J.Otto and your vegetarian vampire!!
My daughter is being a pumpkin .
I don't have kids of my own, but my adorable 3-year old niece loves fairies, so she's going to be one for Halloween, and my 6-month old nephew has a ninja outfit to wear.
Congratulations to our two winners, Cheryl and Jessica! Thanks to all who commented. Happy Halloween!
