WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Joy Keller is the author of fun and fantastic picture books, including Monster Trucks and Miss Turie's Magic Creatures. When she's not writing, she's teaching fourth graders how to write. She lives in Fairport, New York with her husband, two children, and several cats. Richard Watson spent many of his younger years drawing medieval knights, dragons, and entire comic books inspired by his love of reading. He studied illustration at Lincoln University and lives in the north of England.
The cartoon artwork is colorful and blithe, with the fabled beings possessing as much personality as the eccentric, brown-skinned, big-hair-don't-care Miss Turie. This exploration of ancient mythical creatures as potential pets satisfies with its double twist ending. --Kirkus Reviews Watson's bright, lively illustrations move us right into Keller's delightful story. --Booklist
