| Good-bye, Curtis | |||
| Written by Kevin Henkes Illustrated by Marisabina Russo Curtis has been delivering mail for forty-two years. Today is his last day. And all the mailboxes along his route are filled with surprises. There is a drawing from Debbie, Dennis, and Donny. There is a bottle of aftershave from the Johnsons. There is a small, fat book from Mr. Porter. But the real surprise is at the very last house on the very last street. There is no doubt that everyone loves Curtis! |

| Behind the book:
Kevin Henkes, the author and illustrator of many wonderful books, wrote this story. He asked me to illustrate it for him. He didn't see any of the pictures until I was done. Kevin was happy with the book and so was I! Reviews: "The gouache pictures done in pure, bright colors, are flat, cartoonlike, humorous, and winning..." School Library Journal
