Author Biography
Vee Jones has written extensively in several areas, including her state government position of many years and for a non-profit newsletter. When her family decided to work on a project together, the fictional characters Blimmy, Zook, and friends slowly took shape. In addition to the Blimmy and Zook books, Vee also wrote or co-wrote many of the songs on the compact disc, Who Let the Goat Come Off the Mountain? by Rick Jones. Illustrator D. M. Pottenger, a great-grandmother, has always enjoyed drawing and painting. She has done numerous oil paintings and other art projects. She chose to have Blimmy, Zook, and other characters look somewhat cartoonish but still be very identifiable as specific types of animals.
