I had an idea for a December book – but then I was given this great book by the wonderful people at Garden of Knowledge at the Christmas party .  Written by the very funny Jimmy Fallon – you might know him as the host of the Late Show on NBC.  Before he became the host though – he wrote this charming and hilarious look at a kid’s snow day adventure with his friends and a neighborhood wide snowball fight!

As a special treat, everyone at the school that night signed the book and presented it to me as a gift to bring home!

I will be at the BFL this coming Saturday at 10:30am.  I have some very special winter tales to tell – so bring the kiddos and get out of this really nice weather we’ve been having!  :)  I can promise lots of giggles!

Finally the colder weather is here!  Now hopefully the snow is on the way too!

December has certainly filled up!  I will be very happily busy – and all over the place!  Now, I am just waiting on the cooler weather!  I hope everyone is taking advantage of this Sping – Like weather we’re having in MA.  I know many people are enjoying it – but I am a cold-weather kind of person… and this is just not cutting it!  Oh well, I am sure it will soon start freezing soon enough!

Here is another excellent example of a Librarian offering an amazing selection for my Book of the Month.  This is a creative picture book that Lex and I enjoyed while at the Plymouth Library.  Picture books are some of my favorite books out there – they are so beneficial to children – helping them use their imaginations and forcing teachers to use their’s as well!  Check this book out today – you won’t be sorry!

I will be at Kid’z Wurld in Attleboro Friday morning – I hope everyone who wants to come can make it!  Click on the image above for more info!

I will be telling my tall tales at the Whitman Public Library AGAIN tomorrow at 11:00 – please come out and check it out! It’s been so nice out – it’s perfect for coming out to hear stories! Stories that will make your little one’s giggle!

One of the things I ask to the trick-or-treaters when they come up to my door is “What is your favorite scary movie”  How much candy they get depends on how much I like the answer.  If the answer is Saw or any of the remakes as of late – they get 1 piece – but if they say a classic like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Silver Bullet – they get a handful!

Well, one little girl answered “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”

I said “That’s not a scary movie!”

She responded back with “Have you ever been to middle school?  THAT’S scary!”

She recieved two handfuls of candy!

I loved seeing all the costumes this past week – they were all so great!  I am taking Lex Trick or Treating this evening and I am super excited!  I hope everyone has a fantastic and SAFE Halloween!

I wish I had a camera last night – but I didn’t – the picture above is from an earlier October show I did –  so I will just say that I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent turnout for the Kingston show!  One of the best audiences ever!  Thanks for coming out!
