well, André, Dill certainly isn’t the bespectacled boy whose mother scrapbooks his every action (Marcus), the bucket-headed boy (Kevin), nor the dark-skinned Latino-looking boy who fixes everything with a hammer (Beni)

love dil…

Is Dill masking?? How could that be?

Me and proud of it!

Peter’s friend looks like one of those monsters I’ve seen in a children’s book. What’s the name?

Dill knows the importance of having a personal brand, and I respect that.

The world needs more Dillish optimists.

Perfect description.

Dill looks a lot like Ernie (Sesame Street) in this one.

Is the team allowed to use its trebuchet? Might make a good striker.

Sticky? I hadn’t known that about Dill. It certainly adds to his mystique. :-)

I think even the soccer ball is confused. Why won’t anyone kick me?!

Petey, My Hero, it might not be so bad to become a Dill’s Brother. Think of the fantastic adventures they could launch!

Dill is so self-confident: good for him! —Yet, how small he looks next to Andre the Giant!
