NRN Best-Seller



My first ever book report. [pictured above]
Our assignment- to recreate the book's cover.
I think my rendition was pretty smashing for a 9-year old.
[with a little help from mom]
This was my first all-nighter.
Elmer's Glue and tissue paper.


Forget the NYT.
Noelle Regina Nicolai (NRN) has had FMF at the top of her bestseller list for nearly 2 decades.
In fact, I read it last year.
And loved it.
Again.

Bogus Bounce and Bean
One short.
One fat.
One lean.
These horrible crooks.
So different in looks.
Are none-the-less equally mean.


It's been my favorite book since 1992.
Before George Clooney ever knew who Badger was.
Before the world had tasted liver-filled doughnuts.
And for the record, Mr. Fox has 3 children.

Mr Fox: - brown paper bag and water colors
Title: Jello cookie-cutter letters on green construction paper
Firey Sunset and Lush Hillside: layered tissue paper in multiple shades for depth and effect

This was ready and waiting on my bed when we arrived in New York Wednesday night. I kind of want it framed on a wall (caitlin, any objections?)

Do you think mrs. triarsi knew mom had a heavy hand in that creation? frame it noelle! and then, when the time comes, hang it in charlie's room.

it was mrs. prizeman. and i'm guesssing she had a pretty good idea. but mom really didn't DO much. she just art-directed.
