That was AWESOME!! Can't wait to read it with my kiddos. Just ordered 2 copies to avoid the smackdown they'll get into over one.
Congrats again, Nathan.
Yay! I'm so excited. I've ordered a copy to read with my seven year old over the summer. Congratulations!
That's so cool! LOL. Congrat's, Nathan. It's a bit young for me but I know my two nephews will enjoy it :o)
Congras again!
Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
That was frickin awesome.
And funny! I liked the OOPS. I got all Star Wars excited at the end. That is the best trailer ever.
If I hadn't already pre-ordered your book, I'd be ordering it now, I'll tell you.
So exciting, your book is coming out in a month!!!!!
Book trailers have been hit-or-miss with me…but this one was perfect! Perfect tone. Perfect timing (which is a big thing, generally they're too long). Perfect!
Aw. That was awesome! My son wants to watch it again.
Best part of the trailer for me was when the word "corndog" appeared on the screen accompanied by the dramatic music.
With your awesome sense of humor, I'm betting on this being hilarious.
Congratz!
Congrats!!
Huge Congrats, Nathan. Couldn't be happier for you. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for the awesome blog. It's the only one I follow daily, all cause you put it on igoogle. Smart man…
Wow, that was out of this world. I'm anticipating a very cool launch party when the book officially lifts off. What a blast!
Yes, I'm done now. 😛
I smiled the entire time I watched that. Congrats! Can't wait to read it.
I loved the book trailer 🙂 I have something like this in mind for when my time comes – dynamic and funny. Thanks for sharing!
– EEV
This book will be genius !
I loved this trailer!! So much fun!
I can hardly wait to read this. Congratulations!
Very cute. It sort of reminds me of one the shorts from Sesame Street.
That. Was. Kewl.
Well done and best wishes, Nathan!
Easily the best book trailer I've seen.
Sprach Zarathustra!
OMG, that is the BEST book trailer eva!!!! No hyperbole necessary-too cool. I can't wait!
Looks amazing, Nathan. Congratulations. I can't wait to read it.
This trailer makes ME want to read it! So awesome!
50 years and we're not on Mars or the moon yet. Hmmm, what's taking them so long?
That's a great book trailer with my favorite music – Star Wars. Really well done. Might cause a rise in corn dog sales.
I'm sure all parents that liked the Star Wars series will buy it for their kids. Sublimimal buying urge planted with music — good idea.
Question Nathan – Did you get to choose who did your book trailer or was that something your publisher arranged?
Congrats.
I usually can't stand book trailers, coming from a film background (insert more snooty artsy claims here). I have to admit, though, it looks fun.
I think Also sprach Zarathustra – Sunrise could benefit any video whatsoever. Especially a space-themed one.
Congrats!
@Munk: I see you know the source of the Star Wars theme. I discovered that when I worked in a music library on campus.
This is fantastic! And it makes me want to read it – which is the point. Nice work.
d.g.-
Brent and I arranged it.
That is the best book trailer I've seen. Love the integration of music with words and graphics. Very clever!
Um, actually I think it's the theme from 2001, which is even funnier, because it's so portentous. Lol. 🙂
But the layout is Star Wars all the way!
So creative. That corndog floating in space is so funny.
O-M-G, I love it. Hahahaha!
Best trailer I've seen. You posting this on you-tube?
That was pure awesome. I'm pretty sure it's one of the best book trailers I've seen. As if I could want to read your book any more…
Cosmically Kapowish!
But Laika the dog got there first! Woof! Woof! Mind you, she didn't survive her moment of glory, but America's space monkeys did.
Speaking of monkeys, I bet the furry primates in 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY would have much preferred a corn-dog to that dry old bone. And history's first murder might have been averted. Though Laika would presumably have preferred the bone…
D. G. Hudson, the Star Wars music may be operatic, but the theme is not THAT much like THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA! Richard Wagner is pirouetting with horror in his grave. And John Williams is still very much alive. I agree about the slowness of space exploration. Even 2001's sequel 2010 was last year.
Excellent trailer, Nathan. I haven't looked forward to a kid's book so much since…well, since I was a kid!
