How to make your own Ping and Pong soft toy penguins 

PPPICK UP A PENGUIN PATTERN

Just printed out the PING & PONG soft toy pattern for final approval from Mrs. Hop.

PING AND PONG SNEAK PEEK

An advance copy of my new book 'PING AND PONG ARE BEST FRIENDS (mostly)' published in the UK by Simon & Schuster arrived in the post today. Very excited to see it finally in print. The printing is excellent, the colours throughout are really bright and vibrant and it smells so good! I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys a freshly printed piece of print ...something you can't experience with an e-book.

I think you can tell from these sneaky peek close-ups just how vibrant the pages are.

Look out for future blog posts on PING AND PONG in the next few weeks including an exclusive PENGUIN PATTERN for those of you who fancy making your own homemade penguin friends!

UNPOPPABLE?

It's always a nice surprise when a foreign co-edition turns up in the post. To me the Korean editions are always the most attractive and this one certainly delivers some eye-PoPping typography!
