How did you come up with the idea for the book?
Have you always wanted to write a children’s book?
I love the idea.
Bobby Moynihan and his new children’s book ‘Not all Sheep are Boring’.G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers (2)
I have very fond memories of being read books as a child.
That precious, wonderful time right before bed of just reading books.
Are they boring?"
And even he falls asleep.
Has being a parent changed what you look for in a kids' book?
I mean, of course there’s books that you get sick of after a while.
It’s really great.Creepy Pair of Underwear!we enjoy in this house.
I assume since you have done so much voice-over work that your bedtime voices are probably excellent.
You would think I would be better.
You’ve done voice work forWe Bear BearsandDuckTales.
That’s really funny that you say that.
I just started having to read the book.
It’s funny to me how much I get into it.
Do you have a favorite kids' book?
I have a very distinct memory.
I wish I knew the name [ed.
And then I would go pour a glass of water.
I don’t even think I would drink it.
It was just this thing that that’s what we did.
You are not the onlySNLalum to write a book.
Nope, I don’t like them.
[Laughs] No, I’m just kidding.
They’re the best.
I kind of wanted to learn on my own a little bit.
It was not something I was expecting, so when it came across it was very interesting.
That’s what I really needed help with.
But making silly sheep names, that’s what I’m good at.
I’m sure they would’ve given me amazing advice.
They’re all amazing authors and comedians.
How was it working with Julie Rowan-Zoch, who did the illustrations?
Was she someone you knew beforehand?
No, I originally was going to illustrate the book myself.
And I saw her drawings and I kind of fell in love with them.
I absolutely love her art and how it turned out.
And she gave so much character and wonderful stuff to the sheep.
I hid a lot of secret things in the drawings.
I’m a bigLostfan.
TheLostnumbers are hidden in the book.
if you look on the first page, all of the sheep are theLostnumbers.
Do you have a favorite sheep in the story?
Pierre has never changed since the beginning.
Pierre has always been the sneaky sheep with secrets.
But I think Julie is still my favorite.
Julie, I just love Julie.
She’s happy and dancing and drinking coffee.
You are doingUnfrosted: The Pop-Tart Storywith Jerry Seinfeld.
Can you tell us anything about it?
I don’t think I can.
And that was quite possibly the best part of it.
And of course, working with Jerry.
How did you find him as a director?
It’s so strange to hear him talk because you know his voice so well.
And then he is wonderful and a very, very, very intelligent comedian.
The other project I wanted to ask you about isIfwith John Krasinski.
Is there anything you’re free to tell us about about that?
No, I can’t say a word.
Yeah, I wish I could.
I’m really happy.
That’s all I can say.
Do you plan to write another book after this?
Then I started thinking of other ideas.
The process made me realize, “Oh, I do enjoy this.”
And this is something that I would like to do.
As long as they’ll allow me.
