Billy Hooten's Owl Boy

These are my favorite books. I've read all four. If you like comic books, then you'd love these chapter books. This morning I wrote an e-mail to the author. This is what he wrote back:



Hey Ryder,

Thanks for the awesome letter . . . and I'm really glad that you're enjoying the Owlboy books that I wrote. As of right now, there are only four in the series. Have you read all four?

1. Billy Hooten: Owlboy

2. Billy Hooten: Owlboy - The Girl With the Destructo Touch

3. Billy Hooten: Owlboy - Tremble At The Terror of Zis-Boom-Bah

4. Billy Hooten: Owlboy - The Flock of Fury

That's it for right now. Maybe I'll be writing some more in the future, but as of right now, there will only be four books.

Thanks for the email.

Best,
Tom Sniegoski

P.S. Just got another note from the author that he's sending me an autographed copy of his book!

D-day Fish Hatchery

Always fun. Every year is different. Coho salmon run - each one of those fish is worth about $300 at New Seasons.

Collaboration

A mother/son school bus collaboration. He drew it, I painted it.

I just painted this for our school bus.

Dragon Fruit

Looks like a flower to me.
Weird!
Yummy with a little sugar on it.

Bored in the School bus. This is what you do...

International Food Tour

A few weeks ago we decided to buy something different at our Food store every week. Phelan and I get to pick out the item. There are three international aisles in our grocery store. There is an Asian, Mexican and Russian aisle. My Mom said that when she was a little kid her Mom would take her to Mexican bakeries and dim sum restaurants in San Francisco. She remembers steamed bean buns, powdered wedding cookies and piroulines.

Russian cereal - we haven't tried it yet. UPDATE - NOT GOOD!

We decided this tastes like chocolate soda but Papa says it's made with chocolate malted barley. It's very popular at our store.

These cracker/cookies are good but kind of really crunchy. We bought them a second time.
