Chipmunk is so shy . . .

He inhales when he sneezes

He even blushes when he's asleep

He plays guitar in the closet so he won't disturb anyone.

But he just may be the best rock 'n' roll guitarist of all time And Bernie Bridges needs him to win the annual Talent Contest for Rotten House. Bernie will do anything to keep the prize away from Sherman Oaks and his pals at Nyce House.

Can Chipmunk conquer his stage fright and win?

Or--#8212;when Bernie pushes him onstage, will it be Shake, Rattle, and Hurl

About the Author
Park, Trip: - Trip Park grew up in Ithaca, New York, and went to college at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was first drawn to advertising. He then moved to Chicago, later New York, where he joined advertising agencies and worked on kids' favorites including Cap'n Crunch, Gatorade, Kellogg's, and Ronald McDonald. His children's commercials have won numerous awards. But advertising also brought something equally as rewarding. There he got to work with some of his favorite illustrators. Watching these artists create their pieces inspired Trip Park to try his hand at illustrating himself.

Trip Park has illustrated a number of children's books including Gopher Up Your Sleeve, written by Tony Johnston, Trout, Trout, Trout! (A Fish Chant) and Ant, Ant, Ant! (An Insect Chant), both written by April Pulley Sayre. He has also developed characters and helped animate commercials for Nickelodeon, The California State Fair, Lego, and many others. When Rotten School came along, the opportunity to translate to the drawing board R.L. Stine's cast of kids was a wonderful chance to combine his love for children's illustration with this group of rotten students. His work can be seen at www.tripparkproductions.com.
