I am so saddened by the news of today’s events. I can’t even begin to try to put it into words but I seriously thank my lucky stars that I had everyone I love in this world so close to me and safe. Unfortunately, others were not so lucky. My heart goes out to all of the families who were distressed and overwhelmed by today’s events.
I was scheduled to appear at the surrounding Boston Libraries this week and will keep everyone up to date on whether or not the shows will still go on. I hope they do. I think that children’s laughter and innocence, at times like this, is so important. I dedicate all the shows this week to any of the people and families affected by today’s tragedy.

| Title: | Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros? |
| Author: | Shel Silverstein |
| Illustrator: | Shel Silverstein |
| Publisher: | Simon and Schuster |
How can you deny the classics – like ANYTHING by Shel. Shel was the man. He wrote a lot – some was good – some was great and very little was terrible. I wish I had met him in real life. This was written in a different time – late 60’s I think – so make sure you read this very funny book about a boy trying to sell you a cheap rhinoceros – all the good points and some of the bad ones… all hilarious but some out of date. Still, a treasure in any child’s library!

I don’t usually share two of these so close – but this story really made my day.
I was finishing up a show and the teachers asked if they could get a picture with me and all the kids. I said “Of course!” and all the children crowded around me. One little boy, standing next to me, smiled at me and said
“You smell good Big Ryan, you should smell yourself!”
It made me laugh.
