Why-o-why-o-why-o Isn't There a Book Eight-o?

Mrs. Mashburn, a first grade teacher, of New Hope Elementary in Dalton, Georgia wrote:
I have been reading your books to my class for years. You are always a class favorite. This year when I read the last chapter of WHY, you could hear a pin drop. When I finished, they asked me to read the first chapter of the next book. They were really disappointed to find out there wasn't a next book (yet).

Tomie: I just finished the artwork for Book 8, FOR THE DURATION. The publisher is scrambling to get it published asap. I heard this morning that mid-July is a likely on sale date.
