A Shout-out for Humphrey

April 30th, 2010

My friend and fellow author Carol Tanzman just let me know that Humphrey got a mention in School Library Journal in an article on what kids are reading for fun. It’s at the very end.  I especially like the “fun” part because one of the reasons I write for children is that I enjoyed,  loved, reveled in reading when I was a kid. Thanks, Carol!

LA TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS

April 18th, 2010

I’ll be signing books next Sunday, April 25, at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at UCLA. This is a wonderful annual event, the largest in the nation.

My times are:

11 am – Noon at Mrs. Nelson’s Toy and Bookshop Booth813

There are books to discover, shows to see, people to meet, stuff to eat – you name it – so come on over and say HI-HI-HI!
