Encino Man

Big thanks to the Encino Elementary School for having me as the headliner of their Book Fair. Barnes and Noble Encino hosted a big crowd of book loving kids, parents, and teachers.

I got to draw the school librarian, Mrs. Cummings.


Unfortunately, caricature isn't my strong point. Sorry, Mrs. Cummings.


I signed a lot of books...


I met some adorable Wubbzy fans...


And hung out with some very photogenic families...



AND- as a thank you gift, I was given a really awesome customized tin of cookies. Yum! Yum!

Minneapolis Is Awesomopolis!

Words can't describe how great appearing at the Target Book Festival in Minneapolis was so here are a bunch of photos (with few words):

Drawing!

Reading!

Kids!

Nature!

Signing!

A cool Cat in The Hat!

Wife makes friends with Lamb Chop!

Downtown for the cherry on top!

Many thanks to all the cool people that made this such a great experience!

Minneapolis Target Book Festival

I'll be appearing at the Target Book Festival in Minneapolis on Saturday, September 11th.

I've never been but I expect it to be the Lollapalooza of Book Festivals!

And as an extra bonus, Lamb Chop and Hip Hop Harry will be there!

Moustaches, Math, and Merriment!

Last weekend's book signing/presentation at Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena was a blast!

I tried donning a moustache and reading from my new book, The Joy Of Math, but apparently kids aren't that excited by math and moustaches on Saturday mornings. Go figure!
So I read them HUGO, did some drawing, and fed them some cake. When in doubt, give them cake!

Thanks to everyone who came out.
If you didn't make it, here's a super condensed video version of what you missed:




Special thanks to Tom Warburton for being my crowd wrangler! He seemed to use the "BOO" sign quite a bit but I probably deserved it!
