One lovely publisher asked me to draw some guinea pigs for them. How could I say "No". I love guinea pigs! Especially funny and naughty ones! They are little fluffy pink-nosed balls of fur and joy!
Although I like rats even more! I think they are cleverer.... My next book will be about a rat. Lots of people say that it is a bad idea to write about a rat, and picture book about a rat is a big fiasco from the start, because nobody like rats... I think this is just not fair!!! What a cruel discrimination! So, I am going to prove everyone wrong!
But back to our guinea pigs! Of course they are a safer bet than rats, so here is what I drew:

Do you think that a picture book about a rat is a bad idea???
These are beyond fabulous! If the rat is as adorable and lovable as these guinea pigs...you are all set!

Just love your guinea pigs! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteRat picture books shoudn't neccessarily be a fiasko...what about 'The tale of Desperaux' or 'Ratatouille'-animated movies but still about rats and awesome ones too! I bet you can prove everyone else wrong too :)
Love the guinea pigs...very funny. Personally I'm not a fan of rats, probably because I lived on the Isle of Man for a year and they have a huge rat problem... no snakes or foxes on the island...= huge rats that eat through concrete and come into the house...yuck.
ReplyDeleteI did love the film Ratatouille, so I can have my arm twisted.. :)
Cute g-pigs! And I think your book about rats will be great...GO for it!!
ReplyDeleteNot at all, like several already said Despereaux, Ratatouille and the movie Flushed Away all featured rats quite successfully. I think kids especially are fascinated by them. Your work is fantastic. Love these images.

ReplyDeleteI just love your illustrations and your guinea pigs are beyond darling! I also LOVE rats and have had them as pets during various stages of my life since I was 8. They are so wonderfully clever and sweet. I say go for the rat book- it is sure to be wonderful, and your charming illustrations will help battle the negative stigma these cute little critters have to face. Best of luck!!!
