Read a Book to Your Kid

You can have some way cool time with your kids by reading to them.  Pretty much every child at one time or another will come up to their parent with a book and say “Will you read this to me?”  My new children’s book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” was designed to be FUN to read for both the child and the adult.  The brilliant colors, rendered in Photoshop, delight the children.  The subplots, and jokes aimed squarely at the adults will make you laugh out loud. The icing on the cake is that the text is slightly larger than that found in most children’s books, making it possible to read this book to your grandkids without using your reading glasses in many cases. Now put down that newspaper and find some books that you can read to your child in celebration of National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com

Book Festival Time!

National Children’s Book Week (www.bookweekonline.com) is in full swing. There are book festivals from Orange County, California, to Hudson Bay. Families are going out with their kids and listening to story readings, attending workshops, and talking with authors and illustrators as the authors and illustrators sign newly purchased copies of the books. California boasts some of the biggest festivals in the country. I may be attending the Costa Mesa festival in October, 2010 with my new children’s picture book, “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!“.
