New Samples! Squeeeee! Sensing Their Prey

It is a good day when there is a big ole' box of books on my doorstep. I just got samples of the 6-book series I did for ABDO/Magic Wagon. They are available on the Barnes and Noble website.

It was a delightful project to illustrate and had the most variety of any animal project I have ever done and that is REALLY saying something. Everything from lions to creepy crawlies like the fellow below...

This Brownsnout Spookfish creeped me out, but they are probably attractive to each other...

  3. Christina, this is Kathryn Lay. I got my copies today!! I loved the illustrations I saw when the editor sent them email, but in the books, they are even more amazing. I'm so proud of these books and much of that is because of the incredible illustrations! My writer friends are amazed at how beautiful the books are done. Thank you for making my words come alive!

  4. Oh, and everyone LOVES the dog! When I signed 2 of the books at Texas Library Assoc. conference in April, the poster had that picture on it. My husband goes on and on what a great cover that is!

  5. I am so glad you like them Kathryn! It was a lot of work but worth it. ABDO did such a nice job putting the set together!
