My visit to Nahant this past February vacation was a huge success and I had a blast to boot!  I even had my mini-me helper with me to snap a few photos – thank you Alexandra!  If you’d like to see more go to the Big Ryan’s Tall Tales Facebook page and check them all out!  While you’re there go ahead and “Like” the page!

And a shot of my little girl – who somehow is no longer little.

Come to the Bourne Library tonight to hear some of my favorite, classic tales!  Bring yourself in a pair of PJs – and a new pair for someone in need – and then sit with us to hear a selection of great books!  A treat and laughs will be had by all!  Click the image for more information!

See you there!

The snow may have delayed the start of our Kingston Raising a Reader – but we won’t give up!  Come join us THIS Thursday at the Reed Center at 10:30am

Once in a while there are new wordless picture books that just blow mind.  This is one of those books that did just that.  A great story that keeps you on your toes and at times makes you hold your breath with anticipation of what was going to happen.  Wordless picture books are amazing for children who have a great imagination but they are even better for children with a more concrete way of thinking – making them, almost forcing them, to think outside the box.
