Duck! Rabbit! (2 page)
Well, anyway…now what do you want to do?
I don’t know. What do you want to do?
Hey, look! An anteater!

Tom Lichtenheld
is an author and illustrator, depending which way you look at him. He doodled his way through school then worked as a sign painter, set designer, printer, and advertising art director (not all at once). These days, he loves nothing more than making up stories and drawing silly pictures for books. You can see his books and get a glimpse of how he creates them on his Web site, tomlichtenheld.com.
