My WorksALL FOR PIE. PIE FOR ALL
(illustrated by Valeri Gorbachev) (Candlewick Press) Why is it that when there is one piece left in the pie plate, no one ever takes it? But it keeps getting smaller and smaller. True to life, in this story, after Grandma Cat bakes an apple pie for her family, one piece is left. Who eats it, and what happens after? Publishers Weekly, in its starred review, enjoyed the “text with its alluring repetition” and the “illustrations that brim with joy.” A sweet story. Delicious and nonfattening. (ages 3-5) LUCY AND BOB
(written and illustrated by David Martin) (Candlewick Press) In these four Brand New Reader stories, Lucy and Bob do what frogs do: hop, swim, eat (flies of course) and attempt the impossible, flying. And they do it all in the Brand New Reader format that’s just right for beginning readers. For my first illustration project, I couldn’t have found two nicer frogs than Lucy and Bob. They were always there when I needed them, as were the people at Candlewick Press. WE'VE ALL GOT BELLYBUTTONS
(illustrated by Randy Cecil) (Candlewick Press) We’ve got hands for clapping, feet for kicking, and lots more too. But best of all we’ve got bellybuttons for tickle-tickle-tickling. In this rollicking romp, playfully illustrated by Randy Cecil, little ones can follow the actions of adorable animal babies and their families and discover all of the wonderful ways their bodies can move. 6 months to 3 years -- Available Feb. 2005 PIGGY AND DAD GO FISHING
(illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz) (Candlewick Press) Piggy is going fishing with Dad for the very first time, and he couldn’t be more excited. But, when he comes face to face with the bait – an irresistibly cute worm – tender-hearted Piggy starts thinking about the sport in a whole new way. In this warm, funny father-son tale, the popular Piggy and Dad move on from a Brand New Reader format to their first full-length picture book, one that’s sure to have loyal fans hooked and that will reel in new friends too. Preschool to 1st grade -- Available May, 2005 FIVE LITTLE PIGGIES
(illustrated by Susan Meddaugh) (Candlewick Press) This Parent’s Choice Award winning book tells the silly stories behind why one little piggy went to market, one stayed home, one had roast beef, one had none, and one piggy, the littlest, little piggy, cried wee, wee, wee, all the way home. MONKEY BUSINESS

Monkey The Mummy, Monkey’s Loose Tooth, and Happy Birthday are, as experts know, exactly the kinds of short, funny stories that children who are just starting to read need in order to succeed and have fun. So enjoy Monkey as he hides from Mom, loses his first tooth, and wraps himself in bandages until he looks like a mummy.
