\nI’ve got a review over at BookPage<\/em> of Sean Ferrell’s I Don’t Like Koala<\/em> (Atheneum, April 2015), illustrated by Charles Santoso<\/a><\/strong>. That is here<\/a><\/strong>, and I’ve got some art from the book here today at 7-Imp. <\/p>\n

To boot, I’ve got some illustrations from another Santoso-illustrated book, Jessica Young’s<\/a><\/strong> Spy Guy<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, coming to bookshelves in May from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the story of a very loud, very bumbly spy and his “Chief” (a.k.a. his dad). Looks like the Spy Guy<\/em> illustrations were created digitally, and the Koala illustrations were colored digitally — but originally created in pencil. There’s a definite difference in the two; there’s more texture, for one thing, in the Koala<\/em> illustrations, and the Spy Guy<\/em> illustrations channel more of a traditional cartoon vibe, which is fitting for this light and fun slapstick story. <\/p>\n

Santoso, who lives in Australia, is an animation-studio concept artist\/art director by day and illustrator by night! Here’s a bit more art from both books. Enjoy. … <\/p>\n

“So Spy Guy went to Headquarters to see the Chief. ‘Chief!’ he said. ‘Tell me the secret to spying!’ ‘Spy Guy,’ said the Chief, <\/em>‘that you must discover for yourself.
But if you seek to sneak, try not to speak.'”<\/em>

“Spy Guy put on his brand-new shoes. He didn’t make a sound as he crept through town. But … everyone saw him coming.”<\/em>

I’m typing this while listening to President Obama’s remarks at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, and it’s funny stuff. (The Anger Translator<\/a><\/strong> made me laugh outloud.) My kicks 1-7 will be that — and, selfishly, I want to hear the rest of it, so I’m off! But tell me … <\/p>\n
