Synopsis "Bently & egg (The World of William Joyce) "

"I love this book because it is a whimsical story of loyalty and comedic mishaps, paired with joyful illustrations. It's a great pick for children who are building independent reading skills." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor A singing frog reluctantly babysits a duck egg in this sweetly hilarious picture book from the brilliant mind that brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.While egg-sitting for his friend Kack Kack the duck, Bently Hopperton the frog is so bored that he cannot resist painting the egg’s shell. But when the decorated egg is mistaken for an Easter egg and is egg-napped, Bently discovers that he has in fact, grown terrifically fond of that ole egg. Can he rescue the egg before it’s too late?An homage to fatherhood, and the appreciation of swell art.

William Joyce has left his personal mark on all kinds of works for children, both literary and cinematic. Among his illustrated albums are bestsellers such as: George Shrinks, Santa Calls, Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Bently & Egg, and the Rolie Polie Olie series, which became a popular children's TV show that earned him no less than three Emmy Awards

However, Joyce is not just a recognized figure in the world of children's cinema and literature. His illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New York Times, and his paintings are displayed in museums and art galleries across the United States. Hailed by Newsweek magazine as one of the hundred people to watch in the new millennium, his striking and unique stories and illustrations transport us to worlds full of fun, adventure, and fantasy

Moreover, William Joyce has lent his creative talent to several films, creating characters as famous as those in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Robots. In 2012 Joyce won an Oscar for the animated short film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, and has ventured into the digital interactive realm with the spectacular app based on this short film
