An Aspen school teacher put my book into her weekly book “shootout”. The idea is that 2 books are read to the kids and they get to vote on their favorite one. Then that winner goes on to the next week and is read against another book. My book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth.beat out 3 books, including “Stone Soup”. But when “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” went up against “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, I got knocked out. I told the teacher, “The GRINCH? Why didn’t you just throw me to the lions?” I was thrilled to be shot down by Dr. Seuss. The only thing better than that would be to get shot down by Snoopy on his doghouse.
