About this item
The whole family is in bed, and the house is now quiet. Or is it? Drip, drop. Creak, creak. Achoo! A curious bird, who happens to be a lamp, investigates. Jeffrey Ebbelers whimsical nocturnal fantasy explores the world of sound as an endearing bird makes himself useful putting the home he shares with his humans in order.
About the Author
Jeffrey Ebbeler's parents always wanted to live on a farm. One day, they moved their family from the city suburbs to the country. Jeff's dad and uncles built their house and a barn. Just like the Gladstones in George the Hero Hound, they raised all kinds of animals and owned a rusty old tractor that hardly ever worked. Every once in a while, their neighbor's cows would break through the fence and feast on their cornfield. When Jeff's sister got a pony, everyone in the family wanted to give him a name, so they ended up calling him Rusty Dusty Rover Red George. (In this story, Jeff made George a dog, so George could help a bunch of city folk learn to be farmers, just like Jeff's family.) Jeff has illustrated (and occasionally writes) a number of picture books, including Arlo Rolled by Susan Pearson. He lives in Cincinnati with his wife and twin daughters.
