The following is a list of some (but not all) of my illustrated books.

I am little behind in listing books. Looks like about a year behind, actually. I can only write that this oversight is occasioned by too much work, too little time. At least, that's what I'd like to think. I'm hopeful that the staff will be able to fix things, soon. In the meantime, the sidebar is more up to date.

Board Books(under 4) are listed first.
Picture Books (ages 4-8) are next.
Early Chapter Books (ages 5-8) begin about halfway down this page.
Chapter Books (ages 8 an up) are listed last.

Paddington Books are on the PADDINGTON page, in the box above.
Elf-Help Books are on the ELF-HELP page, in the box above.

Within each category, the newest titles come first.
Each underlined title is linked directly to the BookSense consortium of local book sellers.
