The Chucapabra Ate the Candelabra (illustrated by Ana Aranda, edited by Nancy Paulsen) released on 3/7/17. Some friends who pre-ordered and got it that day (or shortly after) voluntarily sent me photographic evidence.
Some showed the book on a marble countertop (names are the adults who sent me the photos, not the kids):
Some included the recipients:
The book is for anyone who likes to laugh:
I recommend experiencing it inter-generationally:
