We had the honor of reading, drawing, and visiting with the 2nd graders at Kenneth C. Coombs Elementary school in Mashpee on Cape Cod last week. Our niece is the art teacher at this school and does incredible work with the students. We were honored to be a part of the students’ learning and growth. Many of the students want to be illustrators when they grow up!
School visits
We love visiting schools and sharing our books with young readers! The students at Miller School in Waldoboro Maine drew us these wonderful thank you cards after a recent school visit.
We love their inspired cards!
How To Make a Book
Check out our video on how to make a book. This features “Mouse in the House”. We hope you will enjoy watching the process!
Two book signings this weekend!
Please join us this weekend for two events–one in Bath and one in Falmouth. See you there!
Spring frogs!
With spring comes the arrival of frogs, which always reminds us of Nana Quimby and her experience with “Too Many Frogs”. We don’t think there’s such a thing as too many frogs! Have you heard frogs singing in your neighborhood yet? We listen to their chorus each night in our back field. Happy spring and happy reading!
Finest Christmas Tree
We love when families tell us that The Finest Christmas Tree is part of their Christmas tradition!
Here is Adam enjoying reading the story to his son.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Read Aloud
Do you enjoy when someone reads aloud to you? Are you just learning how to read and want to read along with someone? Check out this sweet video from a fan, as she reads “Cat Up A Tree“!

“A sweetly simple bedtime book with a reassuring message.” Kirkus Reviews
Bob’s Rock
