Option 4...

I must hereby declare that my mother did NOT throw away any book I ever wrote. I made that up.


So here's the next draft. How's it working?


Heh!


You have not read Laurel Snyder’s first book, The Very Naughty Unicorn, because it was hand-written, bound in scraps of pink wallpaper, and ripped to shreds by a badly-behaved boy named Henry when Laurel was only eight. You may, however, have read her more recent story, Inside the Slidy Diner.

A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Laurel lives in Atlanta, Georgia, in a little brick house with a pale green door. Visit her online at LaurelSnyder.com.
