May is going to be a busy month as I'll be touring the country to read (and sign) my newest book, Hooray for Amanda and Her Alligator! along with the latest Elephant and Piggie adventure, I Broke My Trunk! Then later in the month I'll be in New York for BEA, the annual bookseller convention, along with some great pals. If you're in the area, please drop by and say hello.
And remember to double check with the venue to confirm the event and their guidelines.

Here is a somewhat ponderous video interview I made last year at BEA when I was promoting Knuffle Bunny Free.
Following the BEA show, I'll be off to the National Cartoonist Society's annual convention in Boston, but as a civilian cheering on and hanging out with my cartoonist pals.

And a reminder:
If you are in Northampton, MA, tomorrow (April 16) at 2pm, drop by the Forbes Library for a ceremony celebrating the library's renovated Kids Area and Gerald Budgar, my wife Cher, and myself. The mayor will be there and we'll screen the animated version of NAKED MOLE RAT GETS DRESSED.
