Okay, maybe not "like he was at my table" lunch with him, but he was in front of the group of us Idaho librarians talking about this books and the magic of libraries while i enjoyed my turkey croissant... and who chose the cake with coconut and walnuts?!
Anyway, of course, I haven't read his books because I read grown-up books because I don't work with the little ones. However, I just bought several today because he was such a great speaker, I can't wait to read them with my kids. If you are looking for a fun character to share with your kids (especially boys), try reading one of Gary's books about Spencer's Adventures:
- Hair in the Air
- Stop That Eyeball!
- Garbage Snooper Surprise
- Don't Bake That Snake
- Let Go of That Toe
- The Great Toilet Paper Caper
and don't forget his several picture books, including...
- I Heard of a Nerd Bird
- Friendship in the Forest
- Look What the Cat Dragged In!
- Beautiful Buehla and the Zany Zoo Makeover
Be sure to visit with Sarah and all of the lovely ladies who actually do work with the kids, and ask them about Gary Hogg's books... and then be sure to come up the ramp to grab a little something for you too!
see you in the library!
