HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOR HAMSTERS





I had a great time at MAIN STREET BOOKS in St. Charles, Missouri today, signing copies of HAMSTER HOLIDAYS as well as DOGGIE DAY CAMP, KITTY KERPLUNKING (also from the Pet Grammar Parade series) and GIFTS FROM GOD as well.

It was a majorly rainy day here, but nothing stops serious book shoppers. We had a great turnout, and I want to thank store owner Vicki, as well as sales person Sue, for making me so welcome. Coming to Main Street Books is always a treat.
Here are photos with some fans and me. Plus, check out these awesome flowers, courtesy of Randy & Juanita Tatro. What a sweet treat when I walked in the door at Main Street Books! Thanks so much, you two. And thanks to everyone for stopping by–including my number one fan, my husband Rob.
What a grand way to celebrate the Labor Day holiday with HAMSTER HOLIDAYS. Here’s hoping everyday is a holiday for you!

Introducing GENNA, a Tell-It-Like-It-Is Reviewer

Latest News Flash

2nd grade book reviewer, Genna, has just read KITTY KERPLUNKING: PREPOSITION FUN. Genna loves to read, and with the help of her mom–author & illustrator, Kim Chatel–Genna is now posting reviews of the books she is reading. Genna, according to her mom, gives “the straight scoop” on the books she reviews—no sugar-coating if Genna doesn’t like them.

So I was extremely pleased when Genna posted the following review of KITTY:

This book is about prepositions. Prepositions show where, when or how. I really like the drawings. They are so cute! The main character is Preppy the kitty. He reminds me of my cat, Casey. My favorite picture is the one where Preppy the kitty and his friend are sleeping together on the chair. I like this book because of the drawings and the word games at the end. Preppy made learning about prepositions fun. I think this book would be good for young children.

Read more reviews by Genna at her mom’s website…and while you’re there, you’ll also want to check out Kim’s new book from Guardian Angel Publishing, RAINBOW SHEEP. This colorful story involves a shepherdess, some sheep, and a sad rainbow. The book includes 12 Fiber art illustrations and four full pages of Felting for Fun for kids activities, glossary & fiber art activities.
