From Daniel’s agent, Jennifer Laughran:
Daniel Pinkwater’s FISH WHISTLE is back in a new e-edition. Feel free to click over and “like” it… and even buy a copy if you are so inclined. It is chock full of short essays on a variety of topics, from traveling in Africa (and eating the world’s hottest chili pepper!), to raising dogs (or having them raise you…). They are short and fun and sure to amuse. And hey: $2.99, not too shabby!
Daniel appeared today on The Bob Edwards Show to discuss two books, new and old, about crows.

I grew up with the work of Daniel Pinkwater. A copy of Lizard Music (1976) somehow or other appeared in our house when I was quite young– I say appeared because I don’t remember buying it, I don’t remember being given it, and no one else remembers anything about it either– and ever since then every so often I go on a Pinkwater reread in which I dive through whatever selection of his sixty to eighty books for children and young adults I can get my hands on.
Feast your eyes upon DP’s latest book, “Bear in Love,” illustrated by Will Hillenbrand, which was officially released today by Candlewick Press.
Kirkus Reviews has a great write-up about the book, and you can also find out more about it courtesy of Daniel’s agent’s blog, Jennifer Represents.
From reader Michael Ash:
“For the past four summers, accomplished
amateur filmmaker Tom Barker has led a group of roughly twelve children, now aged 7 to 13, on a weeklong exploration of the art of filmmaking, from flipbooks and stop-action animation through storyboarding and acting to green screens and special effects.This summer the older children (the “Green Team“) made a film adaption of their favorite novel, The Neddiad. Producer Tom (a.k.a. Grandpa Tom) was charmed by Ned’s reminiscences from the late 40’s and early 50’s and a chance to put his model trains in a movie. I’m one of the parents and grew up on Aldine Street, around 300m from Nettelhorst School, and my grandmother lived at 433 West Roscoe St. So the book holds special resonances for many of us.”
