I am so happy to be able to share the cover of Dilly's next book with you today. A New Friend for Dilly is being illustrated by Lisa Oakman, who also did the first book. Lisa has done an amazing job and, the more of her work I see, the more lovable Dilly gets. In this story, Dilly searches from A to Z to find the perfect friend. Just as the first book was all about jobs, the second one is all about animals. Thank you, Lisa -- the cover is adorable! Nathan (9) loves giraffes, by the way, and was all smiles when he saw it. Thank you also to Vivian Zabel and Aidana WillowRaven for allowing me to post the cover today. I can't wait to add it to my website.
A New Friend for Dilly is due out around February 2010 and published by 4RV Publishing, LLC. Will Dilly find the perfect friend? After all, a little rat can't live on pickles alone ...
A story on friendship is always welcomed. Great illustrations too.
ReplyDeleteOh exciting! I'm excited to get my hands on that when it comes out!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that! I'm so thrilled with your success!
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting! Love the cover and I hope Dilly did find a cool new friend.
ReplyDeleteCute cover! I've been meaning to tell you I received the Dilly book! Thanks. It's hidden until my son's bday in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover.The giraffe probably didn't end up being his perfect friend because of the height differences. But I could be wrong. :) So excited for you!

How exciting! I need to order both books. My boys would adore it. Off to figure that all out.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Rena! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful illustration! It looks amazing..
ReplyDeleteI think Dilly and Trockle need to meet. I never thought I'd ever find a rat or a monster likable, much less lovable, but they are both lovable.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Vivian. And as I said before, the more of Lisa's drawings I see, the more lovable Dilly becomes to me.
ReplyDeleteThe boys think it would be great to have a stuffed Dilly. I do too, but with CPSIA, I guess that's not easy to do these days. :(
