About the Author

Raczka, Robert: - Author of the art appreciation series, Bob Raczka's Art Adventures, Bob Raczka studied both art and advertising in college. He has worked as an advertising writer for 30+ years, and has published more than 30 children's books. His work has received multiple awards including the Claudia Lewis Award for his first poetry book, Guyku: A Year of Haiku for Boys, and a Charlotte Zolotow Honor for Niko Draws a Feeling. Bob and his wife Amy have three grown children, Robert, Carl and Emma, plus two dogs, Penny and Pippa. He is based in Illinois.

Cameron, Chad: - Chad Cameron's earliest work was rendered in Crayola with a crude overhand technique on his bedroom walls. This expressionist body of work came to include drawings on other clean surfaces, his little brother, and a fair attempt at the family cat. This didn't go over well with the critics.

Eventually, the critics sent him away to college where he received a BFA in Communication Arts and Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. Since then he has endeavored to spend his time with flying pigs, blue space aliens and the occasional levitating cow. In 2005 he received an MFA from Academy of Art University where he is a now a part-time instructor.

Praise for this book

"Illustrations rendered in warm colors capture the silliness of the brief text. Kids will have fun following the final instructions to 'Go back and find all the / things that aren't right.'" --The Horn Book Guide

"The watercolor illustrations are fun to view as they capture each word explicitly. Children will get the pleasure of correcting each incorrect statement." --Library Media Connection

"Bouncy rhymes keep things peppy, and kids will enjoy being in on the jokes and identifying all that's topsy-turvy in this fun romp. A humorous option for seasonal storytimes." --Booklist

"With giddy abandon, Cameron's (A Day with No Crayons) bustling, mixed-media artwork has fun with this story's gleefully wacky premise....Even observant kids may not pick up on all of the art's switcheroos on the first read, and will gladly follow Raczka's parting directive to 'Go back and find all the/ things that aren't right.'" --Publishers Weekly

"A true celebration of fall certain to be a winner with teachers and children alike; here's hoping that the rest of the seasons will follow." --Kirkus Reviews
