The Wild, Wild World of Children's Books Creators

Here's the cover of an uncorrected proof of an advanced reading copy of WILD THINGS: ACTS OF MISCHIEF IN CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, by Betsy Bird, Julie Danielson and Peter D. Sieruta.

It's scheduled to be published in April of 2014 by Candlewick Press. (This cover is not necessarily the final cover of the published book.)

Tomie was asked to write an endorsement of the book, and he enthusiastically wrote one.

By the way, Tomie is mentioned in the book. Oh, dear.
