Invisible Inkling

a chapter book; Harper Collins/Balzer+Bray.

The thing about Hank's new friend Inkling is, he's invisible.
No, not imaginary. Inkling is an invisible bandapat, a creature native only to Peruvian Woods of Mystery. (Or maybe it is the Ukrainian glaciers. Inkling hardly ever gets his stories straight.)
Now Inkling has found his way to Brooklyn and into Hank's laundry basket on his quest for delicious squash--a mainstay in the bandapat diet. But Hank has bigger problems than helping Inkling fend off maniac doggies and search for yummy pumpkins.
Bruno Gillicut is a lunch-stealing, dirtbug caveperson and he's got to be stopped.
Still, who better to help stand up to a bully than an invisible friend?

Princessland

a picture book; illustrations by Barbara McClintock. FSG/Frances Foster, Spring 2012.

"Why are you following me?" asked the Lady Cat.
"I want to go to Princessland."
"What's it like?"
"Princessland," said Romy, "is where the girls are all princesses, and their parents never tell them to stop complaining."
"Oh," said the Lady Cat, pausing to sniff the air. "I could probably take you, if you hang around long enough."
