Week of May 8, 2011—An Interview with Lisa Wheeler
Friday—Lisa Wheeler Retrospective
What a great week! Thanks to Lisa Wheeler for charming us with her wit and sharing her knowledge along the way. Let’s end the week with a look at several of Lisa’s fantastic picture books. I hope you have a chance to check them out (or purchase them!) soon.
Boogie Knights
By Lisa Wheeler and Mark Siegel
A wonderfully spooky romp through a castle where seven sibling knights sleep at their posts and don’t notice as a cast of creepy characters enter the castle. But even the knights can’t sleep through the Madcap Monster Ball. The rhyming is stupendous and the story is hilarious.
Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum

Castaway Cats

The Christmas Boot

Dino-Baseball,

Farmer Dale’s Red Pickup Truck
By Lisa Wheeler and Ivan Bates
I love the simplicity of this story and the country charm. I’ve featured excerpts from Farmer Dale is several posts this year.
Hokey Pokey: Another Prickly Love Story
By Lisa Wheeler and Janie Bynum
Jazz Baby
By Lisa Wheeler and R. Gregory Christie
Love, love, love the jazzy rhythm, the steady beat, the syncopation, and the rhyme!
Mammoths on the Move
By Lisa Wheeler and Kurt Cyrus
Ok, truthfully, I love the art as much as the story in this book. Only Lisa could do a non-fiction, prehistoric rhyming picture book!
Old Cricket
By Lisa Wheeler and Ponder Goembel
One Dark Night
By Lisa Wheeler and Ivan Bates
Sailor Moo: Cow at Sea
By Lisa Wheeler and Ponder Goembel
Seadogs: An Epic Ocean Operetta
By Lisa Wheeler and Mark Siegel
Sixteen Cows

Spinster Goose: Twisted Rhymes for Naughty Children
By Lisa Wheeler and Sophie Blackall
Spinster Goose is a new favorite that tickles my funny bone every time I pick it up. Spinster Goose is a treasure trove of unexpected nursery rhymes—the kind that finally lets us see Mother Goose’s less-than-motherly spinster sister and the students who attend her school.
Turk and Runt
By Lisa Wheeler and Frank Ansley
Ugly Pie
By Lisa Wheeler and Heather Solomon
Uncles and Antlers
By Lisa Wheeler and Brian Floca
Where, Oh Where, Is Santa Claus?

Wow, that's a lot of PBs! I ordered One Dark Night after reading about it earlier today. (And I already own Old Cricket) I'll have to check out all the rest!
Hi Rob,
Thank you so much for including me in your aesome Blog! I like the way the interview is broken up into a few days. As a person with short-attention span, this worked wonderfully.
Thanks for all your kind words. I want to meet this terrific lady of which you speak. :)
I love Porcupining: A Prickly Love Story (was excited to see the "se-quill") and Sixteen Cows!!!
