  1. Very cute!

    I confess to feeling extremely troubled by this Famous Person's Random things until I read #4.

  2. Yes, Robin, C.G. it is. Pretty easy to guess after a while.

    One thing I should have added is that he doesn't think he's neurotic, but he certainly qualifies as hyperactive!

  3. I suppose C.G. tagged his friends too. Can't wait to see what random things the man in the yellow hat, the store clerk, the sailors, the firemen, and the balloon man put in their lists!

  4. I love it. Though, like Meg, I was concerned at first!

  5. Hello to you, Jacqui. I hope your concern about my famous friend was short lived. :-)

    I've read on your website that the publication date for your second picture book has been postponed. Yes, we authors sometimes have to wait what seems like an eternity for illustrators to finish. In my case, though, the wait was worth it. Hope you will feel the same way.

  6. Gale, it's true. But it's also true that my website is horrifically out of date and TWO OF A KIND comes out this July (hurray). Note to self: update website.

  9. And I thought it was so obvious. Silly me!

    Have I been retelling too many stories about foolish people lately? Perhaps so.
