THE NINCOMPOOP WHO SPILLED HER SOUP!

NINCOM COVER DIMENSION

Illustrated by Cathy Christy O’Connor
Written by Rich Drake

In this fun-filled, pun-filled joy of a book, a silly little girl with a big imagination plays with words the way other children play with their toys. Eventually driving her parents, or at least one of them,
up the wall.

My wife and I were looking for a children’s book to give to our grandnieces and nephews, and a friend recommended this gem. It is filled with humor, poetry, wordplay and above all, an innocent silliness sorely lacking in today’s world. It contains beautiful illustrations and the additional word game adds to the fun. In addition, the adults will appreciate the preface. In it, the author expresses his deep fondness for his granddaughter, for whom the book was written, and how the bittersweet end of one visit inspired this book. We loved this book and hope there are sequels.
A great gift.

Oh Cathy! This is STUNNING!! I love it so much! I love how you captured her eyebrows and that cowlick that was always in her eye! Lol! Her eyes and nose! It’s amazing how you were able to do the shading. It truly is a work of art. You did such an incredible job portraying Maddy. I will be forever grateful. Now I have to figure out where I am going to hang it far away from my toddlers grasp! Ha-Ha!
