Hooray for the skateboarding dog! Stanley's
Wild Ride won the California Young Reader's Medal
for 2008/9. Approximately half a million California students participated
in this fine program. Dog, author and illustrator are all thrilled.
And hooray for those hockey-playing farm animals
too! The Farm Team was
chosen by the Vancouver Public Library as the first children's book
in the "One Book, One Vancouver" program — a city-wide, award-winning
book club.
Stanley's Beauty Contest
is a nominee for the 2010 Ontario Blue Spruce Award. That means
the Contest
is in a contest! I’m excited about going to the ceremony
in Toronto in May, 2010.
Stanley's Beauty Contest
is also a nominee for the 2010 Saskatchewan Shining Willow Award.
Stanley gets to be a “prairie dog” this year, and he’s raring to
go.
Are you going to be in New York in late April or
in May of 2010? If so, look for Stanley on Broadway! Well, maybe
not actually ON Broadway, but definitely just “off.” The Manhattan
Children’s Theatre Company is producing Stanley's
Party (together with Stanley's
Wild Ride) as a musical play. Can you imagine Stanley
and his friends singing and dancing? I can’t! That’s why I’m going
to take a quick trip to see it for myself. Check out the website
at www.mctny.org.
