Children’s Book Writer, Helen Ketteman & Artist, Will Terry Team Up Once again
Yet another wonderful picture book for all ages, especially children.
I don’t care how many children’s books you’ve illustrated it’s always exciting to get that box of new books from the UPS guy – who I gave a BIG hug to – it was awkward.
This book is now available at many retailers and it’s the the fourth book I’ve illustrated by Helen Ketteman (Published by Albert Whitman) What a sweet lady! I had the opportunity to get into a car wreck with her in Houston. We were in the same car when her friend (who was driving) got into a crash. Everyone was fine but it was really nice to see how she comforted her friend who was quite frazzled. You can really tell a lot about someone’s character when they’re under stress.
School teacher turned author.
Helen is one of those school teachers turned author – dangerous! I think that’s why she writes such fun books that kids really seem to love. This one is just pure fun. I think there’s been a shift towards books that teach a moral or celebrate a historical event. This book is just fun. Is it ok that we let kids just be kids sometimes and have fun? I’m still a kid and I like to have a little fun once and a while…ok all the time.
Anyway if you’re looking for a fun book that doesn’t teach a darn thing your children might like this one!Buy There Once Was a Cowpoke Who Swallowed An Ant
Kid’s choice; favorite book to have read to them
I keep hearing kids say this is their favorite book to have read to them in March you can find it at amazon, and read it to a kid. Favorite place to lean art? At home on the computer.
Not All Illustrations Get to be in the Show
All that work, and then ‘no’, this little illustration is a still borne. It doesn’t get to live and breath and be a part of the book.Hmmm… Wonder what I should order?
It seems to be a lot of problems accidentally swallowing critters in children’s publishing these days…
Wow, everyone likes this book. (Thanks to Photoshop)
