Dewey Bob by Judy Schachner
One of our new picture books is Dewey Bob by author and illustrator Judy Schachner. This past summer, I had the privilege of meeting Judy at her home near Philadelphia. Many know Schachner as the author and illustrator of the popular Skippyjon Jones books. Judy refers to her studio, housed in a spacious addition to her home, as the studio that Skippyjon Jones built. Her home is beautifully decorated and filled with unusual items which influence her art. The taxidermy raccoons which adorn her walls were inspiration for her latest book, Dewey Bob. Dewey Bob Crockett is a young raccoon who loves to collect shiny things, but he discovers that it is a lot harder for a raccoon to collect--and keep--a friend. The following book trailer, highlighting Dewey Bob, will allow you to meet Judy and hear how she compiles her ideas.
