HELLO MONTCLAIR, NJ!

I had a lot of fun at the Montclair Cooperative School! I read a few pages from my new book, ZORGOOCHI INTERGALACTIC PIZZA: DELIVERY OF DOOM, as well as a few picture books for the shorter members of the audience.


It was so exciting to see my book on the sale table.


Don't worry, I have a high tolerance for signing books.


Of course there was pizza. Lots and lots of pizza.

HOW COOL IS THIS?

I always feel so absolutely grateful when I see my books in a library. Someone actually called me a "library person" when I was a kid, but I didn't know how to take it.

Of course now I know it was a compliment!

WHAT'S A YACCAPALOOZA?

I asked myself that very question when I was contacted by Muhlenberg Elementary in PA. They wouldn't tell me much. I guess I would have to find out when I got there.


I was greeted by all sorts of paintings from my books. What a thrill!


These guys were good!


There were also some mini-shrines!


Love the garden gnomes!




I gave a few presentations. We had a blast!


Of course there were books to sign!


It's always nice to make new friends.


The event was even reported in the local paper!

Remember- if someone invites you to an event that's your name plus "palooza," say YES!
