The Best Illustrated Children's Book This Year

is Escape From the Crooked Tree! OK, maybe not, but we like to think we have a shot. There is a lot going on at Tales From the Tacklebox.  So, lets get to a reader question and then an update.

Question: Is tackle box one word or two words?
Answer: Excellent observation. Tackle box, most often, is two words.  However, in Tales From the Tacklebox, I have put them together. I wanted a word that sounded like children say it, breathelessly and aggressively.  So we have the Tacklebox.  In the Hydrilla Clump (our second book), you may also learn that the Tacklebox has a first name... 


A couple key dates:
