We just received our first copy of Mogo, The Third Warthog! We’re so excited that the book will be available soon — by July 1st.

Mogo, The Third Warthog

This is the second Donna Jo Napoli book Lita has illustrated (the other one was Ugly). Here are a few of the interior illustrations:

Rhino from Mogo

Zebra from Mogo

Baboon from Mogo

When Lita was assigned this project we didn’t have time to go to Africa, but we did spend many days at the San Diego Zoo. Lita sketched critters all day long and we had a great trip. Here’s a picture of one of the warthogs that inspired Lita’s Mogo:
