INCHY D'VINCI
When an engineering inchworm (who longs to fly) adopts an abandoned egg… that hatches??? Yikes! Inchy must conquer his fears & use his inventions to get his new pal (& natural enemy) back to her nest fast. OR be breakfast.

What a wonderful community...

[Ann Rose @annmrose]

I guess I'm supposed to post that I also donated a query and ten page critique for this auction - So there it is.
I hope you can help support a great cause! ❤️

Carol Burnett, comedy genius and gracious person, who lets others shine, too. Example: this hysterical skit from her fab show. Others might have insisted they be in the skit. Steal the bits. Get the laughs. Not her. She will always be my hero. @oldhollywood23

[Tara Lazar @taralazar]

I remember watching Johnny Carson's Tonight Show sometimes with my parents...they laughed and I didn't get it. We also watched The Carol Burnett Show together and ALL LAUGHED. I love comedy that has something for every age. #picturebooks
