The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley Extras

Prediction on Why it Will Raise a Ruckus: There’s a brief glimpse of Raphael’s painting of the two bored looking cherubs.  Only in this version, one is Norman and the other is smoking a cigarette. When was the last time you saw a cigarette in a picture book that wasn’t being condemned?  Oh, this is going to be interesting . . .

Other Links: Please be so good as to direct your attention to the true hero of this book, Norman, and his MySpace page.  Is it just me, or has stress really made Norman look older than his 34 years?
