I attended a Read Aloud Jamboree on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun and the kids were great. I went into about nine classrooms armed with my rhymer, If I Could Be Anything for the younger grades and The Sister Exchange for the older grades. It was very entertaining for everyone involved, I think... I didn’t see any bored faces anyway, so I guess that’s a good sign.
Most of the kids at this school were already familiar with my books and had been told that I would be visiting. But the day of my visit also coincided with Dr. Seuss’s birthday, which the students had been informed of as well
When the teacher asked one class if they knew who I was, one student answered, “Dr. Seuss!”
Not quite, but it’s still pretty nice to be compared to him. But from now on I’ll have to check the calendar first before I schedule any future school visits.

I BET THAT MADE YOU LAUGH!I LOVE DR SEUSS.
Nancy, I travel a lot--even by car throughout the US--and I didn't know there were mountains called "Endless." It feels poetic. What a great influence for a writer. (-:
