Just a few of the nice booksellers I met yesterday on my Barnes & Noble marathon. They weren’t even born when I started writing children’s books, but it made me feel so good when they told me they grew up reading my books.

Happy Birthday to Dick Van Dyke who turns ONE HUNDRED today. I can’t say for sure that he inspired me to become a writer. But I loved watching “The Dick Van Dyke Show” when I was a kid. Seeing him goofing around, dreaming up silly ideas in a writer’s room seemed like a dream job. And it is!

Tomorrow will be my annual pre-holiday Barnes & Noble marathon. I’ll be hitting all six B&N stores in New York City that I can get to by bike, subway, or on foot and signing all my books they have on the shelves. Last year I signed over 400 books. It’s gonna be a LONG day.

The only gift that’s better than a My Weird School book is a My Weird School BOX SET! They should be available wherever you buy your books, and if a store doesn’t have them, they can order them for you. (A box set is also a great gift for your son or daughter’s teacher.)

Yesterday, Henry and Holden came all the way from South Carolina with their parents just to meet me (Well, they also went to the M&M store and The Museum of Natural History), so the least I could do was meet them for lunch at my favorite diner and sign their books.

During December I’m going to be pestering you to buy my books. I’ll try not to be obnoxious about it. It’s just that a huge % of book sales take place during the holidays @ if we want to be successful, authors have to do everything we can to get the word out. I apologize if it gets to be too much.

The most exciting cultural event in my lifetime was The Beatles. Whether you’re an old coot like me who wants to relive the memories, or a child who devours my books, check out “The Beatles Anthology.” I’ll never get over the fact that these 4 kids from England made such a huge impact on the world.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. As part of our feast, we had a “Potato Chip Challenge”—a blind taste test of 7 brands. It turned out there was no clear winner. My personal favorites were #3 and 4.
