Toodle-dee-doo . . . It's here, it's here!

It's the big day! JOE AND SPARKY GO TO SCHOOL releases today. For a sneak peek, check out the book trailer . . .

To celebrate, we're whooping it up at  Scribbling in the Garret, blog of my good friend and fellow author, Cynthia Platt.

Cynthia's blog is a must-read. As a children's book author, editor and an MFA student (holy cow!), she knows a thing or two about writing for kids. She blogs about her writing adventures with humor and a healthy dose of pop culture.

We had a fun chat about teacher sayings, the Hokey Pokey, and early readers. Plus she's hosting a BOOK GIVEAWAY! Just write the name of your favorite teacher in her blog's comments section to enter to win a signed copy of JOE AND SPARKY GO TO SCHOOL. Visit Scribbling in the Garret for more info.
