Mrs. Soule began as an editorial assistant at the National Education Association in Washington, D.C., and also worked as an instructor for the Institute of Children's Literature later in life. Never Tease a Weasel was first published in 1964 with illustrations by Denman Hampson.

George Booth (1926-2022) From 1969 on, cartoonist George Booth's illustrations were an iconic feature of the New Yorker magazine. One of his most beloved characters was a zany bull terrier.
