i was at barnes and noble the other day, and i felt like looking at the children's halloween books, because i normally like the art work. i stumbled across one of yours--wicked nursery rhymes--and got incredibly excited and tried to look for your others. they don't carry the other ones, and it was a sad day, indeed. i had them order the one i wanted, though. and now i'm just waiting for the phone call.
