warning on the consequences of spilt milk. Come on seriously what is so wrong
about spilt milk?
The glorious imagination of Monkey Pants takes the reader and
child on a journey of sharing what happens next before turning the page. A
skill imperative to developing a child’s imagination and creativity and Doug
Schwartz does a terrific job in formulating such an experience. The crayon
child-like illustrations by Jordan Beckvonpeccoz add to the allure of Spilt Milk, which is sure to become a go
to book for bookshelves across the globe.

Really funny name - Monkey Pants!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. I thought the same thing about the name!
DeleteThanks, Alex. The Pants family started with an inside joke of our family. My sister started calling our dad SpongeBob SquarePants (because his name is Bob). We started calling our mom Pester Pants (because, whose mom isn't one, right?). My daughter was a little Smarty Pants, and my son was very much of a Monkey Pants. My sister dubbed me Anson Pants. Someone suggested the other day the sequel should have the grand parents, Cranky and Grumpy Pants.
DeleteCongratulations to Doug! I'm awaiting news on when my first PB will be coming out. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful news...congratulations!
DeleteThank you, Sharon! Very exciting! I wish you success on your first PB (which I am assuming is for Published Book, and not Peanut Butter).
DeleteGreat name and title! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by and for your thoughtful message.
