Al and I ended up trading lines to make each other laugh and from our jokes Rudolph emerged.<\/p>\n<p>The fabulously talented Shane McGowan agreed to illustrate and he entered into the fun and we\u2019ve ended up with a quirky, funny rhyming picture book.<\/p>\n<p>We hope readers enjoy it as much as we three enjoyed working on it.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to know why Rudolph\u2019s nose turned blue, you will need to read the book!
