Indeed. When do you feel the happiest?
When I’m performing! I love being on stage!
If you could dine with three characters from other books, who would they be?
Oh, gosh, does it have to be characters from books? I would kill to dine with Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, and Simon Cowell!
They would definitely give you a ticket to Hollywood. What is your pet peeve?
They would definitely give you a ticket to Hollywood. What is your pet peeve?
I can’t stand when my porridge is too hot, so I go play or something while its cooling, and when I get back, it is too cold!
Me, too. Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?
Fly. It would come in handy when we’re on tour.
What was it like working with Corey Rosen Schwartz and Beth Coulton?

GOLDI ROCKS AND THE THREE BEARSPutnam (Feb. 2014)
ISBN 978-039925-685-1
"When the three
bears leave in search of a soprano for their band, Goldi wanders into
their cottage and discovers that Baby Bear’s mic is the perfect height,
his headphones fit just right, and his piano is 'perfectly grand.' The
bears have no luck finding a singer . . . and return to find Goldi asleep.
After she awakens with a scream that hits high C, the bears recruit her. . . . Wragg’s mixed-media cartoons evoke vintage Golden Books,
and . . .
his humorous flourishes match the mood of the storytelling." --Publishers Weekly
