“We always have so many exciting events going on,” Ida B. was heard to say one day, “that I never know which one to go to….and I live here.”

It’s true that Ida B. is our most elusive cat, but we think she’ll make an appearance for this event because we know how she feels about dragons (ah-mazing) and morning routines (she thinks breakfast is the best!) both of which are featured in Jane Yolen and Derek Anderson’s new picture book Waking Dragons.

And as it happens, illustrator Derek Anderson will be strolling into our store at 1pm on Saturday, November 17th for an exciting event. So don’t be bashful, because whether ducks or dragons, we’re never sure what Derek will illustrate next!

The smell of freshly sharpened pencils is in the air, which can only mean one thing: school's about to start! Some of us are even heading off to school for the very first time, which can be scary and exciting and nerve-wracking all at once. So to calm some of those first day butterflies, we're going to be reading How do Dinosaurs go to School along with other stories all about school! This morning at 11:30 AM.
