Hi! Check out the new cover! Isn’t it glorious? I really love how this cover is at night, and the cover of the first book is daytime. Not only do they look amazing next to each other, but this book centers around an epic sleepover (or not), so it’s more of a nighttime book (even though Snappsy would rather sleep by himself, and has no interest in the chicken’s misguided notions about what makes a great sleepover).

Be sure to head on over to the Nerdy Book Club today to read more about it, and see some exclusive Tim Miller illustrations (including The Legend of the Very Old Brownies).

Let’s talk about preorders! If you have any inkling at all to preorder Snappsy the Alligator and His Best Friend Forever (Probably), you can order it on Amazon, OR you can order a signed, personalized copy from one of my local indies, Bull Moose. All you have to do is place your order any time between now and October 1. When you get your order confirmation email, reply to that email and tell Bull Moose how you want me to sign it. If you don’t want any personalization, you don’t have to reply. But you can reply and give instructions for exactly what you want me to write, or you can even say, “Julie knows me well enough and can write whatever she wants” (I’m looking at you, Terry Shay).

Or you can wait until October and check it out from the library. That’s okay too! There’s even a library in this book, to prove how great I think libraries are.
