Please be sure and check out this trailer for the picture book, "Z is for Moose." It is written by Kelly Bingham, and illustrated by the uber-talented Caldecott winner, Paul O. Zelinksy.
Most alphabet books are a dime a dozen, but I think you'll find this one a fresh take on getting from A to Z in a laff-riot kind of way--and I guarantee you--it will delight and amuse anyone of any age! I think the trailer is really well done (besides, I'm proud to report that yours truly had an infinitesimally small part in it--see the credits at the very end).
Sooo...
1. Go get the book for your kid, grandkid, neighbor kid, nieces and nephews, yourself, etc.
2. Be sure to watch the entire trailer (it's hilarious)...and be sure and check out the credits.
I expect a report ;)
Your muttering* blog friend,
-ERS
*this will make sense when you watch the trailer all the way through the credits :)

Oh what fun, Elizabeth! I found the muttering very professional, not too overdone, subtle in a subdued sort of way, I congratulate you on a most excellent performance.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks pretty good too!! Love Moose.
Axxx
Muttering, eh? Twins expected in the family (#9&10 of the collected horde) - I will have to call dibs.
ReplyDeleteNice. Very nice! Joey - what you doin'? And you are such a good kind mutterer Lizzie!
ReplyDeleteWow. This has certainly gotten great reviews - from Kirkus to NYT Book Review. When buying a new book if it has a good Kirkus review, I will more than likely buy it. And so I guess I need to buy this book and I look forward to finding someone to give it to.
Haha you made me smile, thank you for that :) Hope you are well - I love Zelinsky's work
ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth:

ReplyDeleteHaha what a great trailer! But that's only because of the professional muttering of course....
ReplyDeleteHaha, so silly! Muttering is an important job! I am a big fan of the moose. Not as big a fan of that whole "how YOU doin'" thing (baby joey), but thumbs up on the rest!
ReplyDeleteI showed it to my daughter and she said I should order the book. So that is the proof. Well done Elizabeth. Thumbs up.

Okay, I'm checking that book out right away. As a sometimes-substitute teacher, I love a captivating read-aloud picture book. So, what's the story on how you came to be a famous mutterer...and alongside such stars?! Such fun...
