Mike Venezia and George Berlin Begin New Book Series

Marie — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:09:27 +0000

Mike Venezia and George Berlin have teamed up to create a series of (mostly) picture books that feature their brand of creatively wacky illustrations.

The first book in the series, Ways To Get Around, focuses on all manners of transportation and travel. Yes, “bare feet” is covered but so too is “bear feet.”

The details and humor inside are going to keep the adults entertained even as the art and imagination delight their kids.

Get the book from Mike or George at one of their in-person appearances
or simply visit their Mike and George’s Weird World of Wackiness website.
