What's a kid to do when she really wants a dog, but all she has is a chicken? Well, maybe a chicken can be a dog....
Susan McElroy Montanari has had many unusual pets over the years.
She had a five-foot-long rat snake named Snookums, and her
daughters once found a baby alligator in a neighbor's pool. She has
spent much of her life on the beach and tidal creeks surrounding
Savannah, Georgia. After several years in Norwalk, Connecticut, she
has returned to live in Savannah with her husband and a cat named
Tybee. This is her first book.
Anne Wilsdorf's cat, Istanbul, likes to watch her paint. Once, when
Anne was drawing insects, Istanbul jumped on the paper, trying to
catch the bugs as soon as they appeared under her pen. She is the
illustrator of numerous books for children, including Sophie's
Squash by Pat Zietlow Miller, which received four starred reviews;
Dogs on the Bed by Elizabeth Bluemle; The Best Story by Eileen
Spinelli; and Alligator Sue by Sharon Arms Doucet. She lives and
works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
SUSAN MONTANARI is making her picture book debut with My Dog's A Chicken. Another book, Who's the Grossest of Them All? will be published by Schwartz & Wade Books in Fall 2016. Susan spent the majority of her life on the beach and tidal creeks surrounding Savannah, Georgia, and currently resides in Norwalk, Connecticut, with her husband, one daughter, a turtle, and a cat named Tybee.
