Picture Book Marathon 2011 - Day 3

I'll let you folks decide what this one is about.

It's funny.  I didn't always hate Math.  We used to get along.  But somewhere in the middle of the 4th Grade we had a falling out.  It got really bad for a while; we couldn't even be in the same room without someone getting angry.

It's not like that anymore.  I don't really hate math, I've grown out of that.  Sometimes Math and I pass on the street.  We smile and wave but that's about it.  We both know that if we ever tried again to be more than just casual acquaintances it would all end in tears.  So we just steer clear of that pitfall.

And we're both much happier for it.

Animal Math - New Creative Writing Prompt for C.K.C.

Let's get to it.

Yeah, I like animals doing silly things.  When I'm stuck for something interesting to draw or write I usually try to take something normal and add something unusual to change it up.  Interesting stories often follow.

I find this prompt to be especially fun on the illustration side of things.

For an example of this type of story come to fruition, check out David Shannon's "Duck on a Bike." It's super fun.  And I LOVE David Shannon's illustrations.
