Thanks, Altoona public library!
I had a great time visiting with some very fun readers at the public library in Altoona, WI last night! Most of the kids had read My Last Best Friend so they came with lots of super questions. They did a great job of figuring out what all the objects in my Show and Tell bag (sketchbook, granola bar, chalk, toy car, potato, and a stuffed monkey!) had to do with the story. And it was extra-special that my daughter had time to come along. When one of the girls asked, "What inspired you to write this book?" all I had to do was point to my daughter! :)

Here are a few photos from the visit:

Reaching into the Show and Tell bag... no peeking!


Books, friendship bracelets, and a bag of chocolate kisses. What could be better? :)


A very studious bunch!
