The Woollyhoodwinks
by Phil Dumesnil, Asa Sanchez
Illustrated by Jeff Root
Five cute, cuddly, and creative creatures must save their dear forest home from a mysterious, growing threat! It’s like the Uglydolls meeting Winnie the Pooh.
The Woollyhoodwinks are five plush dolls who enjoy life in the richly textured Black North Forest. Junco leads the imaginative Ludic, the prankster Reddy, the reasonable Ozard, and the cute baby named Fluke. However, their carefree existence is interrupted when a piece of the sky falls to earth.
This dark patch begins to grow! As it spreads over the ground and disturbs the tranquility of their woodland home, these adorable friends take turns trying to solve this strange mystery. How will the naturally inventive ‘Hoodwinks save the day? Ingenious photo-illustrations make stuffed animals come alive in a textured and stitched landscape.
This inventive tale will spark the imaginations of both kids and adults. True to the doll’s original handcrafted designs, the illustrations’ ingenious landscapes of colorfully patterned fabrics will entrance children. Wonderful vistas that spring from sewn cloth will remind parents of cozy homespun quilts.
Teachers and librarians will appreciate the amusing craftwork and allegorical storyline, whereas librarians will savor the lyrical prose which flirts with poetry. The Woollyhoodwinks’ eye-catching antics are bound to appeal to the dreamer in everyone.

Phil Dumesnil
Once a member of an improv comedy troupe, Phil "shows a novelist's eye for detail" as a songwriter for the band The Foibles. The SF Weekly wrote: "Whereas much pop music is built around endlessly repeated choruses, Dumesnil's songs are resolutely non-redundant. He eschews lyrical repetition almost to a fault, preferring to end a song after a minute and a half rather than repeat himself. He's like a surrealist machine-gunner, continually pelting the listener with odd juxtapositions, non sequiturs, and tart observations."
