The NY Times has given us a great list of books that were released in 2012 – it’s always fantastic to see people giving books – and not screens or gadgets – the credit they are due!

One of the greatest thrills of the lives we get to lead on this little planet is discovering the wonders this world has to offer. The feeling of realizing WHY something happens is one of the best feelings. This book is a fun way of looking at a creature discovering the wonders of fall and watching the world change around him. Check out this book today!

A somewhat bitter-sweet week for me – while I have some fantastic shows coming up for this weekend – I had my final week with the Mashpee “Building Stories” group.  The presented me with a card and sang “We are Family” while clapping and saying “thank you” for presenting these past 4 weeks.  It was such a blast!  But, like I said, looking forward to the reast of the week – I have quite a weekend for you guys!

First up, Thursday – I will be at the Barnes & Noble in Braintree at 6:30pm – this is a fundraiser for the Bridgewater Library, a great cause, so come on by and check it out!

Saturday – I will start the morning off at the Plymouth Public Library at 10:00am where Plymouth Family Network is sponsoring a Dad’s Group (for any Dad and son/daughter).  Unfortunately, that required you to sign up at the library and is now full…

BUT DO NOT FEAR!  I am also going to be crossing over to Duxbury right after to the Chandler Elementary School where they are holding an Early Childhood Fair!  I will be there at 11:30 – so if you didn’t sign up for the Dad’s Group – come on by the Chandler School for an excellent time!

I will be at the Pembroke Library at 10:30 doing my tallest of tall tales!  Come on by if you want to laugh so much it hurts!  Not “OW!  That really hurt!” but “I am so glad that hurt!”
