About this title

From the Publisher:

This was perhaps Dorals first true mass market book, and only our second childrens book. In many ways, this was a new undertaking for all involved. We used a new artist, a new graphic artist, and a new printer, but the end result was a product we are EXTREMELY proud of. We have only heard positive reviews from everyone we have sent it to, and we are pleasantly surprised by the many different reactions people have to it and what they get out of the book. Perhaps the experiences Mark Anderson, the editor, had with his two small girls best sum up this project. He was to be able to share this with them at every step of the way, from rough draft, to a draft with sketches, to a draft with color sketches, to the cover design, to the final finished product. His two girls were just old enough to appreciate the steps involved and were thrilled when they were able to see and hold the final, finished book in their hand. It was like watching a dream become reality.
