In this delightful, rhythmic sequel to One Odd Day, the young boy awakens to find that it is another strange day—now everything is even, and his mother has two heads! This time, a school field trip to the zoo is dealt with in an odd, but even-handed manner. And, like its predecessor, children will spend hours looking for all the hidden objects in the incredible art. Square it all off with more “number fun” in the “For Creative Minds” section.

Written by Doris Fisher and Dani Sneed

Illustrated by Karen Lee

Dani Sneed currently works as a full-time writer although she has worked as an engineer and a substitute teacher. When teaching Dani enjoys explaining math in silly but memorable ways. She was inspired to co-author this book based on a conversation she had with an elementary school librarian. She has written several articles for "Highlights for Children" and three merit badge books for Boy Scouts of America: Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Geology and is working on more. She has two co-authored bilingual books published by Bebop Books, a division of Lee & Low: Confetti Eggs and Cascarones (fall 2002), and Punched Paper and Papel Picado (fall 2004). Dani lives in Humble, Texas with her husband and their three children, plus a dog, a parakeet, and two gerbils.

Karen Lee majored in illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio. It was here that she met her husband, fellow illustrator Tim Lee. She began her career as a storyboard artist and editorial illustrator but it wasn't until she had children of her own that she discovered her true artistic passion. As she brought home stacks of books from the library to read to her children she began to discover the magic in children's illustration. Karen tries to bring her sense of delight into every painting she does. Each illustration begins with a thoughtful design and drawing. The paintings are finished with watercolor on illustration board. Karen is the recipient of the 2004 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Magazine Merit Award for her work in Highlights For Children. Karen and her husband are currently raising their family outside of Raleigh, North Carolina. To visit her web site, click here.
