What's New

Author Appearance

Visit me at the Collingswood Book Fair, Collingswood, NJ, on October 1, 2011

News Release: April 4, 2011

Good Night Engines/Wake Up Engines-an all new board book/flip book!
Clarion will be repackaging both books into one, durable combination board and flip book. It’s like getting two books in one. When you finish reading one book, you can flip it over and read the other! Little readers will enjoy handling the book themselves while adults won’t have to worry about torn or frayed pages. I’m thrilled that this new version will put both of these books into the hands of my youngest audience!
ISBN: 978-0-547-510767
Price: $8.99

Coming Spring 2012: Bug Patrol, (Clarion, Spring 2012).
“WEE-O! WEE-O! WEE-O! WOO! Bug Mobile coming through!” What if bugs really fought over “parking” spaces and were issued tickets for “speeding”? This whimsical, rhyming verse (to be illustrated by Cece Bell) follows Captain Bob in his bug mobile as he rescues bugs and otherwise keeps the peace throughout the bug world. Whether your child is a bug lover or a bugaphobe, Bug Patrol is sure to make everyone laugh as bugs find themselves in all-too-familiar human predicaments.
