Another Neal Porter/Roaring Press book that charmed me on the ALA Exhibit Floor a few weeks ago was My Snake Blake by Randy Siegel, illustrated by Serge Bloch.

The Got Story Countdown is where we share tips for children's book illustrators.
We focus on items relevant to the hearts and minds of children's story-telling artists and their partners —editors, authors, art director/designers, and their cheerleaders.
We invite published illustrators and their partners (editor, art director/designer, author, or other associates) to answer questions about their process.
You are welcome to join in, as long as you stay on topic. Got Story?

Yes – what a perfect match and isn’t Serge Bloch wonderful and fresh?!
Génial as they say in France! He’s done so many great books for children, alongside his Sam Sam comic series, and art directing for French children’s magazines published by Bayard Press.
The subject reminds me of the early Tomi Ungerer book, Crictor, about an elderley woman’s friendship with a snake – another unlikely friendship! http://www.harpercollins.com/browseinside/index.aspx?isbn13=9780064430449
