Chicago Tribune: "Tiny Pie Hits the Spot"

Follow this link to a nice article on Tiny Pie from the Chicago Tribune:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/site/ct-prj-0609-tiny-pie-mark-bailey-michael-oatman-20130610,0,7872257.story

Here is an excerpt from that article:

"Tiny Pie" is a gorgeous children's book meant for kids ages 3-6, but it's the sort of book adults will smile over, too. It follows Ellie, a pint-sized elephant, as she stumbles into a hole in the kitchen wall where a colony of mice are televising a cooking show. The mice make Ellie a tiny apple pie.

Nice Bad Apple Mention in The School Library Journal

Here is the part about Bad Apple:

I think we have plenty of mismatched friend picture books out there but I’ll admit that I sometimes have a problem with titles where a predator is best friends with their food source.  It always makes me think of thatFashion Kitty moment where FK mentions that her cat family has a pet mouse, which would be the human equivalent of have a chocolate cake as a pet. “I love you, but I wish I could eat you.”  That’s part of the reason why I was so pleased to see Bad Apple: A Tale of Friendship by Edward Hemingway.  It’s a mismatched friend tale, sure, but not in a predator/prey way . . . or is it?  The story concentrates on Mac (smart name) an apple who befriends Will, the worm in his head.  Unfortunately apples with worms don’t make for the most popular fruits, and Mac is quickly shunned as “rotten”.  It’s cute.  Sort of a metaphor, I suppose.  Worth checking out.

Another Tiny Preview

Here are two more previews of work from Tiny Pie:

Reference to the Bad Apple Video

A blogger at the School Library Journal has linked to the Bad Apple promotional video with following blurb:

So in other book trailer news, the grandson of Ernest Hemingway is friends with the lead singer of The Donnas.  Why am I telling you this?  Because in the great wide world of children’s literature it all comes together into a perfect whole.  Book trailer-wise anyway.  Observe and enjoy the latest trailer by Edward Hemingway for his upcoming picture book about an apple and his best friend.  And the music is by the aforementioned Donna, Brett.

School Library Journal Review of Bump

Bump in the Night got a very nice review in the School Library Journal Review; here is an excerpt:

Look, I know you've got a lot of monster books out there to choose from. Not just blue ones either. But sometimes you want a monster story that can give you cool visuals and a fun plot without sacrificing style or message. This little number won't change the face of friendly monster fare as we know it, but when it comes to amusing both adults and kids alike it certainly has the edge. Fun. Cute. Hard to resist.

Bump in the Night

Ed's sweetly dark (darkly sweet?) children's book tells the story of a boy, a monster and the night that unites them.

Work-in-progress: Bad Apple

Found this mention in a book industry blog:

 

9 January, 2008
Picture book Artist and illustrator of the upcoming picture book BUMP IN THE NIGHT Edward Hemingway's BAD APPLE, about an apple, who befriends the worm living inside him, again to Susan Kochan at Putnam, by David Kuhn of Kuhn Projects (World).

So I guess Ed is going to come out with another children's book next, called "Bad Apple", to be published by Putnam.

The original context is here.
