What I’m Up To at Kirkus This Week,
Plus What I Did Last Week, Featuring Jon Klassen
April 5th, 2013 by jules
It’s alphabet soup like you’ve never quite seen it over at my Kirkus column this morning, where I write about Kashmira Sheth’s Tiger in My Soup (Peachtree, April 2013), illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler. That link is here today.
See the illustration above from Lemony Snicket’s The Dark, illustrated by Jon Klassen (Little, Brown, April 2013)? It’s, hands down, my favorite picture book illustration from 2013 thus far.
As a follow-up to the Kirkus Q&A (here) I conducted last week with the book’s editor, Susan Rich, I have more art from the book below.
Enjoy. (Oh, and don’t miss this recent Kirkus Q&A by Jenny Brown with Snicket and Klassen.)

‘I want to show you something,’ said the dark.”
