Neil Gaiman has been busy busy busy with so many different projects, including a prequel to the beloved graphic novel series Sandman and a new episode of Doctor Who. He has also written a new book for children, called Chu’s Day. It’s about a baby panda that has peculiar issues with sneezing. You can watch a trailer for the new book below but prepared to die from an overdose of adorable:
Chu’s Day will be released on January 18, 2013, and it’s the first of five children’s books that Gaiman has signed on to write for Harper Collins. In other Gaiman-related news, this Wednesday, November 14, Gaiman will be speaking at Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh to celebrate the 15th anniversary of his book Stardust, and his new Doctor Who episode, featuring the Cyberman, will air in 2013.

I’ve never really gotten the concept of book trailers. It just seems a bit weird, and I’ve seen ones that are all pictures (presumably illustrations from the novels) slide-showing to music with some promotional text.
This works as a book trailer, though. It makes sense, because it’s the author talking about the story, with some illustrations behind him. I like it, though Neil Gaiman standing there with his big hair and barely-moving face might be a little off-putting to children.
