The local children's theatre is putting on the world premiere of a children's musical based on the Miss Bindergarten series of books.
We shall be attending tonight's show, where we will get our books signed by the author, Jospeh Slate, to match our signed copies of the Fly Guy books.
Interesting note -- Miss Bindergarten was a human in the original story, until the illustrator, Ashley Wolff, decided to make her a border collie (speciifically, her collie named Pumpkin). She then convinced Slate to make all of the kids into animals as well.
With children's books, the illustrators have an inordinate amount of power.
