I’ll hold you to that, Santat. My memory is long, my dance moves short.

I’ll be happy to slip on a muppet suit and dance for your book trailer, Betsy

Congrats on Giant Dance Party! So many great books to look forward too (particularly the Platypus Police Squad, Chu’s Day and new Heroes Guide books for me!).

I’m also extremely grateful for the compliments on 123 versus ABC. Thank you.

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, perhaps?

It thought the lion was Aesop’s Fables.
Also, my claim to fame is that I have an original charcoal sketch of my daughter that was done by Jacqueline Rogers. Lucky us (although too bad it is not signed.)

Looking forward to the fuzzy blue dancing giants, Betsy! Plus, didn’t realize you had the same birthday as Shakespeare (different year, of course).

Congrats on your forthcoming picture book! That’s very exciting. As far as a book trailer idea, how about a video that “advertises” Lexy’s tutelage/lessons and/or her ability to work with unconventional clients? As in, a kid’s version of a Kickstarter project? Dunno if that works with the actual book but that’s the sense I’m getting from your description. I look forward to reading the finished product!

And I second Sherri T. I think the lion is Aslan, especially because he looks like a Lion With A Message, from what I can see.

I love Barbara McClintock’s DAHLIA too! And since I don’t think there are enough children’s illustrators referencing Joseph Cornell in their work, I am super excited to see STARDINES SWIM HIGH ACROSS THE SKY.

That’s as good a guess as any, but he looks a little less godly and little more hungry. Then again, I don’t remember the moment where the Hunchback starts munching on the bells, so everyone on this jacket just looks like they need a good nosh in general.
