I don’t know about where you are, but where I am right now, it’s getting pretty toasty. So I thought it would be a good time to remind you about Donna Shepherd‘s book, OUCH! SUNBURN, illustrated by Kevin Scott Collier. Donna’s enjoyable rhyming read instructs kids on the importance of skin care when going out into the sun. And Kevin’s fun pictures help bring the message home.

And you’ll also want to check on Kevin’s new blog, Professor Horace’s Cryptozoology Research Center. Professor Horace will be featured in Kevin’s soon-to-be released picture book, PROFESSOR HORACE, CRYPTOZOOLOGIST, from Guardian Angel Publishing. Professor Horace is on the hunt for monsters–Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, and more.

Perhaps you would like to join the professor’s hunt. Have you noticed any mysterious creatures lurking about lately? A long black tail slipping away into the bushes? A huge footprint along the pathway? Or a strangely-shaped head skimming the surface of the pond? Oooh, did you just hear that odd howl?
Sorry, I’ve got to go and notify the professor immediately…
