I love this because it means there's a chance Bob Dylan is one of the only people who have seen the cover of the sequel to Mildred the Gallery Cat

[Bob Dylan @bobdylan]

At the hotel in Frankfurt there was a publishing convention and every room was taken, parties all night. I didn’t know there were so many book publishers in the world. I was trying to find Crystal Lake Publishing so I could congratulate them on publishing The Great God Pan, one of my favorite books. I thought they might be interested in some of my stories. Unfortunately it was too crowded and I never did find them.

Alright alright here you go: Franz Kafka board book for toddlers

(inspired by @tomgauld's cartoon for last week's @GuardianBooks)

[Tom Gauld @tomgauld]

A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us - Kafka.

@roryisconfused new favourite idiom: "you, Jono Ganz and 160 others"

[jono ganz @jonoganz]

No you do not get to see this drawing, yes I was very stressed

[jono ganz @jonoganz]

Coming home from my First Ever Author Event filled with the confidence that I can do anything (like drawing a power ranger riding a narwhal surrounded by bags of money, at the request of a group of 53 kids)

I don't use the word 'spooktacular' lightly, but how else can I describe MALLORY VAYLE AND THE CURSE OF MAGGOTY SKULL - @Waterstoneskids' book of the month and the reason I got to sit at my desk and animate this creepy trailer 💀

[Waterstones Kids @WaterstonesKids]

Mallory Vayle & the Curse of Maggoty Skull our spooktacular Children's #BOTM is a hilarious gothic adventure from @MJHowardWrites which follows a junior necromancer as she attempts to rescue the spirits of her parents with the aid of a talking skull... https://t.co/lXi5mu5zVi

I wasn't sure about keeping this passage in the book - so wordy and weird for a 5 year old reader! But a) I think it's funny and b) how else to subtly introduce the little ones to Jenny Holzer's Inflammatory Essays?

[Sam @i_chose_books]

I did not expect to be attacked like this in a picture book, @jonoganz
