SOMETHING NEW: I am posting a trivia question each week! Anyone who sends the correct answer to pieauthor@aol.com wins the chance of being featured in my new book. Scroll down to the bottom of this blog page for more details. So...are you ready? Here's the question. What Dr. Seuss book was written using only 5 words? Find out next week!

Christy Ottaviano at Henry Holt chose to pass on I SWALLOWED A WORM. I will look into other publishers who might be interested.

My editor at Henry Holt really liked HOW TO CATCH A CROCODILE and is seriously considering it! In the meantime, I am sending her I SWALLOWED A WORM. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Just completed a picture book entitled I SWALLOWED A WORM, about a young bird who swallows his first worm and then imagines all of the terrible things which might befall him as a result. A wily wolf has a few suggestions but the bird ends up having the last word!

I am still searching for a literary agent! Sent FAMILY IN A JAR to Erica Rand Silverman at the Stimola Literary Studio and am waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed!
