I know, dear reader, that this may seem a trite topic, but I must be contrary and say that it is not so. As I am working on my new alphabet book, I can’t help but wonder if I should follow the normal convention of “A is for Apple” or branch out and simply declare boldly, “apple.”*

What do you think? Which is better? Let me know what you think.


A is for Apple

Apple

* Do not worry, my alphabet book will be much more exciting than mere apples…

Gentle Beginnings

An original Gentle Bear comic drawn during some kind of school. From his humble beginnings to now having his very own book. Gentle Bear must be pleased.

1) On the day I was born, so were 356,793 other people.

2) Edwin Morris hates sunsets.

3) The man stepped out into the humid night, the revolver at his side two rounds lighter.

4) Be a big girl, step down from there.

Ferocious Sketch

Don’t worry the baby is in no danger. But maybe you are.

Pickle Soda Publishing recently added 3 baby girls (triplets) to the team. They were born on Christmas Eve and are already avid readers. They’ve each picked their current favorite book that isn’t put out by Pickle Soda.

Mabel’s favorite

DownloadedFileWill the hippopotamus ever catch a break? (Spoiler: She does)  Mabel likes it when the armadillo shows up.

Honeybear’s favorite

0763642975There’s three baby bears in this one and they are each the best bear in the whole world.  Honeybear (Juniper) likes the part where the three baby bears are laying on mama bear’s tummy.

Else’s favorite
haroldpurpleHarold happens to have a purple crayon that he can draw anything with.  He uses his powers for good.  He gives nine kinds of pie to a hungry moose and a deserving porcupine.  Else likes when he gets scared and accidently draws an ocean he falls into.

The girls plan to continue to pick favorite books.  This week they’ve been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss.
