The Robots Are Back!
And this time they have gas.
Annette Simon's minimalist robots from Robot Zombie Frankenstein! return—counting, belching and shouting the alphabet. Theatrical readers who can thrown themselves wholeheartedly into burping and singing ("a-zoink-zoink-here-and-a-zoink-zoink-there") will make this picture book a hit with a preschool audience. Simon's colorful graphic design (reminiscent of Colorforms) make the pages of Robot Burp Head Smartypants! stylish and lively.

Illustrator Saturday with Jennifer Thermes
Visit Kathy Temean to see a Q & A with author and illustrator Jennifer Thermes. Jennifer talks about her time at Parsons and her process, and gives us a look at her drawing table. With examples from several of her books and maps—striking watercolors in both black and white and lush color—it's a terrific interview.
