http://pbjunkies.blogspot.com/2014/04/double-book-review-wild-about-bears.html
Friday, April 18, 2014. Double Book Review: Wild About Bears and Petey and Pru and the Hullabaloo. Since it's been awhile, I'm popping on the PBJs today to post a double book review. I was lucky enough to get the above books signed by the author/illustrator Jeannie Brett. And author Ammi-Joan Paquette. Both books are visually beautiful and offer layers of interest and depth for readers. For loads of information and bonus materials. If you recall, I reviewed. Mustache Baby last year, illustrated by Joy Ang.

http://pbjunkies.blogspot.com/2014/04/authorillustrator-interview-aj-smith.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Author/Illustrator Interview: AJ Smith and Even Monsters. I'm really excited to share this interview with author/illustrator AJ Smith. His picture book, Even Monsters, came out earlier this month and it chock-full of monsters, cooties, and a silliness that kids and grownups alike will really love. So let's get right into the wit and wisdom, shall we? G: I love the rich, layered look to your art for Even Monsters. What is your process like? Beyond that, I think you have to bring s...

Friday, February 4, 2011. New Book Release Coming Soon. 169;2011 Deborah Melmon. Wednesday was a special day for me. I got a most gracious email from the authors of a book that I illustrated last Spring called Labracadabra. Published by Viking, it will be released on April 14th and is currently listed on Amazon. One of the hardest parts of being an illustrator is waiting, waiting, waiting to see your work in print! Because I Said So. The Story of Us. Well, I could go on and on. You are amazing, Deb!

pbjunkies: Book Review: Dojo Daycare
http://pbjunkies.blogspot.com/2014/10/book-review-dojo-daycare.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Book Review: Dojo Daycare. I've been meaning to share this gem of a picture book for some time. Dojo Daycare, written and illustrated by Chris Tougas. Is published by Owlkids Books. You can track each ninja and their ninja pets at home, the bear as he gets pulled apart (and see where he ends up! And my kids' favorite part - see the little green fluff coming from one little ninja. Yup. It's a silent but HILARIOUS surprise when you figure out how that last fight starts.

pbjunkies: Book Review: Mustache Baby
http://pbjunkies.blogspot.com/2013/08/book-review-mustache-baby.html
Thursday, August 15, 2013. Book Review: Mustache Baby. I'm totally smitten with Mustache Baby. My 2yo and 4.5yo are equally taken with this spectacularly illustrated and hilarious picture book by Bridget Heos. The premise is so ridiculous that I dare kids not to need to pick it up and read more. But then the character design, double-meanings, and future of Billy's mustache keep you going.
