This is one of my favorite drawings – I mean the likeness of me is uncanny!  Maybe my ears are a bit smaller – but they are certainly my best feature.  Right behind my eyes…

Make sure you come to the Plympton Library tomorrow fora grand old time!  Puppets, songs… and – oh yeah, ME!  Starting at 11:00am – make sure you call the Library and sign up as space is VERY limited!  Can’t wait!

Get ready!  This Saturday afternoon I will be at the Kingston Library telling my stories and having a grand old time!  I will make sure to bring my puppets, who are always a crowd favorite.  Come and join me!

With the huge amount of snow predicted to fall on our lovely part of the state my show for tomorrow has already been rescheduled for another day.  That means… SNOW DAY!  I know I am not a kid anymore – but there’s something still exciting about not going to work because snow is falling on the ground!  So – I have updated the UPCOMING SHOWS page again – I am keeping on top of it this year!  Shows are being added everyday – so make sure you call if you want a certain date!

 

I want to thank the huge crowds that showed up at the Pembroke and Hingham Libraries this past weekend – I had a blast!  I absolutely love and believe in the services that the Library provides a community.  Lex and I try to make it to our local Library at least once a week to play and read.

The Plymouth Library has some awesome furniture that looks like books – and Lex loves the “lounge” chair that looks like an open book – as you can tell!  Today she had a grand time taking the doll house furniture and setting it up on one of the book shelves.

Make sure you check the Upcoming Shows Page – I will be in Pembroke nice and early on Saturday for a 10:30 show – and then I will make my way over to Hingham for a 2:00 start time!  I will be bringing my puppet friends and planning on a real good time with fantastic stories for the whole family to enjoy!  I look forward to seeing everyone there!

I remember seeing this unique book in one of the libraries I visited this fall.  One thing that I love is when librarians make a practice of is highlighting certain books by displaying them on the top of the library’s book shelves.  I have found so many great books this way!  Some change the books seasonally, some monthly – and I have come across some that do it weekly!  It’s a simple practice that really does make a real impact.  This is how I came across this book – one that follows a line through some of the more classic tales from history.  I love how the author works the line into the each tale – and it’s a joy to read!  Check it out today!

A new year, a new adventure!  I look forward to another year of being Big Ryan and sharing my stories with the children all over!  Woo Hoo!  Now, who had Chinese food?

I will be joining the festivities in Norton for thier First Night celebration!  I will be telling stories at 7:00 – make sure you come nice and early to find a spot to hear some of my favorite stories!  Click on the image above for more information.
