Okay, a little background before we launch into this one.  Before Chris Grabenstein wrote Mr. Lemoncello’s Library (a book for which he is justifiably famous) he wrote a whole heaping helpful of other books.  For decades.  Seriously, the man has paid his dues.  Now he has a new book out with absolutely zip, zero, zilch Lemoncello ties and I get to reveal the cover.  Here’s what makes me happy about this:

1. There is a pink flamingo involved.
2. Motels make me happy, which I’ll admit is odd but there you go.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you . . . Welcome to Wonderland.

A beauty, yes?

And as a delicious little closing, here’s an interview I conducted with said Mr. Grabenstein last year. Note the truly amazing images behind his head.  Now THAT is what a children’s author’s home should look like people.  Stuffs stuffs n’ more stuffs.
