This hilarious and surprisingly accurate storybook was introduced to me by the librarian at the Norwell Library.  When I asked her what books were her favorite to read she immediately went to the bookcase that housed this gem and plucked it off the shelf.  I leafed through the book giggled my way through it.  Not only is it extremely funny – but the ending is so perfect as well!  I love idea of this story and think it’s a perfect read for anyday day of the week!

So, my rescheduled show for the Sherborn Library will be happening tomorrow (January 7th) at 4:00pm – if you are in the area you should come by!  Also, a few of the new sessions of Preschool Building Stories are starting up this month:

Carver Library sessions begin THIS Wednesday at 4:30pm

Hinham Library sessions begin on Tuesday the 14th at 3:30pm

Holmes Library in Halifax sessions begin on Friday the 17th at 11:30am

Call the selected library to reseve a spot!  Space is extremely limited!  These parent/child workshops run for 4 weeks (you can come to just one week – or you can come to all four!)  Make sure to check my Upcoming Shows page to see other times and details.  If you have any questions you can email me directly at ryanstalltales@hotmail.com

Also, I am so close to verging on 450 likes on my Facebook page – if you haven’t already – just follow the link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Ryans-Tall-Tales/210231642325292?ref=hl and hit “like”.  I usually am able to update that page more than my website.

Here’s to a happy and fun 2014!  Can’t wait to see everyone at a show!

I am going to be at the Sharon Library tomorrow (Dec 28th) at 1:00 for my last public show of the year!  You will have to wait until 2014 to see me if you miss this one!  Make sure you don’t!  Granted, it is only a week or so until the ball drops – but STILL!  Make sure you come to the Sharon Library!  Click the pic above for the link.

I hope everyone out there is staying warm and having the best holiday season!  My famitly and I are certainly enjoying ourselves – and my daughter had a blast opening all of her gifts yesterday that Santa brought her!  Here’s to seeing 2014!

I know I rarely drop knowledge on this site for the masses to consume – but every once in a while I come across something so vital for every man, woman, and child to know I feel like I must share!

Later, Gators!

Bill Thomson continues to amaze and give David Weisner a run for his money in the wordless picture book category.  This book follows a young man discovering a special power where, after discovering a fossil, the thing appears in front of him – even though it has been extinct for millions of years.  The real adventure begins when he finds a fossil of a Pterodactyl.  Make sure you seek out this book and enjoy this amazing find!

I know it might be a lot to ask of people to not shop on Black Friday – but if you are one of the families that drop the consumerism and want some family friendly event to attend – come to the Jingle Bell Walk tomorrow!  This is an annual event that I have been part of for the past 5  years or so – if you’ve never been, it’s so worth it!

Click on Ole’ Saint Nick above to get more information about tomorrow’s event.  My show begins at 3:00!

I hope everyone out there has a safe and fun Thanksgiving! Make some memories that you will be telling people about for years to come!

Saturday will be a busy day – my first stop is at the Norwell Library for the Fall Festival, make sure you stop by!  My stories will be starting at 10:30am.  Then, I am going to be happily heading to the Ipswich Library for a 2:00pm show!  Make sure to come by one of the shows – they will be full of fantastic fall fun!  Click on the images for more information.
