Welcome to the first stop on the blog tour for Normal Norman (Sterling Children's Books @SterlingKids) by Tara Lazar (@taralazar) founder of PiBoIdMo, and illustrated by S.britt (@StephanBritt) and due to be published March 1. Join the crew blog by blog and on Twitter (#NormalNormanBlogTour).

Each double-page spread is teeming with energy, details, and humor. Plus, it begs to be read aloud and should surely generate some interesting discussion about what is "normal"-- in the animal world, as well as in ours.

>>> Link this book with a Orangutanka: A Story in Poems by Margarita Engle to offer a contrasting (and more reality-based) look at orangutans. And just for fun, Sterling Kids Publishing has provided fun, interactive activity pages to accompany this book (below). Enjoy!
