Mason Madrid is the class clown of Ms Evans' 4th grade class. Mason loves to make his classmates laugh even if it means he sometimes gets in trouble. Nothing is funnier to Mason than pulling his sweater up during class and whining that he's lost his head. Or hiding a ketchup packet in his hand and squeezing it at exactly the right time to gross-out the younger kids in the cafeteria who think he's bleeding.

In this audiobook, author/illustrator Mike Artell shares "real world" information about children's book publishing. This is not a "how to write children's books" book. This is a book about how to dramatically improve your chances of getting published. This audiobook is for the absolute beginner who doesn't know anything about the business. Mike answers questions about whether or not you need an illustrator, what publishers are looking for and what to do to dramatically improve your chances of catching an editor's attention.

Big Bad Gator Claude will do anything to have a taste of Petite Rouge...even if it means putting on a duck bill, flippers, and frilly underwear. He presents no match for the spunky heroine and her quick-thinking cat TeJean, though, as they use some strong Cajun hot sauce to teach Claude a lesson he will never forget! The combination of hilarious rhyme and exaggerated art creates a highly original retelling of the classic fairy tale. This is Little Red Riding Hood as she's never been seen before.
