\nThis morning over at Kirkus, I’ve got mischief on the mind. That is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

* * *<\/center><\/p>\n

Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> at Kirkus<\/em> about Elaine Magliaro’s<\/a><\/strong> Things to Do<\/em>, illustrated by C\u00e1tia Chien<\/a><\/strong> (Chronicle, February 2017); Deborah Freedman’s<\/a><\/strong> This House, Once<\/em> (Atheneum, February 2017); and Kevin Henkes’<\/a><\/strong> Egg<\/em> (Greenwillow, January 2017). <\/p>\n

I’ve art from each book today, and Deborah also shares some early sketches and thumbnails, for which I thank her. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
