Author Notes:	Kevin Lewis has always been a bit of an explorer, and as a kid, he was known to bring home a criter or two. Luckily for him, he grew up on a farm where there was always room for one more. The author of The Runaway Pumpkin , Dinosaur Dinosaur , My Truck Is Stuck! , and Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo , he left behind the green acres of his childhood for the hustle and bustle of New York City, where he edits books for children. David Ercolini was inspired to illustrate children's books while teaching elementary school art classes. He won the Grand Prize at the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators 2009 Winter Conference. This is his first picture book. He lives in New York City.
