MEET THE DULLARDS

Daniel Salmieri Sara Pennypacker

In the tradition of The Stupids, this is clever and irreverent picture book about a comically boring family, from bestselling author Sara Pennypacker and illustrator Daniel Salmieri.
Their home is boring. Their food is plain. Their lives are monotonous. And Mr. and Mrs. Dullard like it that way.

But their children—Blanda, Borely, and Little Dud—have other ideas... Never has dullness been so hilarious than in this subversive, deadpan tale, by bestselling creators Sara Pennypacker and Daniel Salmieri.

When Sara Pennypacker was a kid, she thought her parents’ job was to keep life dull. She is very much afraid her own children felt the same way about her. Now that she’s grown up, is the author of the acclaimed middle-grade novel, Summer of the Gypsy Moths; the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Clementine chapter-book series; as well as the picture books Pierre in Love and Sparrow Girl. She divides her time between Cape Cod and Florida.

Daniel Salmieri is the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Dragons Love Tacos as well as Secret Pizza Party and Those Darn Squirrels. He lives in Brooklyn. You can visit him online at www.danielsalmieri.com.
