A
few years ago, a very well known children's book author named Bill
Martin Jr. (he wrote the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear,
What Do You See? illustrated by Eric Carle)
began working on a book of his favorite poems with the folks at Simon & Schuster.
This project was no small undertaking. Many illustrators were involved
and it took years to complete.
We're
thrilled to report that The Bill Martin Jr. Big Book
of Poetry is finally finished and Derek
is honored to be a contributor. Weighing
in at a whopping 176 pages, the book will be
published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young
Readers this coming November.
Derek
is back in the studio and hard at work on two brand new Little Quack
books...
Stay
tuned for more!
