Operation: Deliver the Bink

Illustrated by Mike Yamada
Look inside
In this chapter book series opener, Jack Russell, Big Russell, Just Russell, and Little Russell are brothers by day…but super-secret canine spies whenever a mission calls! Perfect for fans of The Secret Life of Pets.

The Miller family is off to visit Nana, but they left baby Austin’s favorite blanket—his “bink”—behind. Oh no! With lots of blueprints, maps, and a unique blend of photos and colorful illustrations, this hilarious story will take young readers on a daring ride to see if the Russell brothers can deliver the bink!
Jack R. Miller lives in a super-secret location with his three brothers and their most favorite human family ever: The Millers! Jack enjoys journaling, planning, digging in the backyard, snuggling, and taking long, long walks. You can find more of Jack’s books at your local library, online, or in Little Russell’s sidecar (but don’t let him catch you!)—or at a bookstore near you.

Mike Yamada (he/him) is an art director, illustrator, and visual developer. He has spoken at numerous colleges and has visual development credits on various films, including Monsters vs. Aliens, Big Hero 6, and Wreck It Ralph 2.
