If You Give A Bookshop A Great Author…..They’ll Throw A Party!

Having a blog is such fun! Now we can share things in a much quicker manner than our monthly email newsletter (not that that will go away anytime soon, we love our newsletter!)

We were very happy to host a book signing with children’s author Laura Numeroff (there is no way you haven’t read the book If You Give A Mouse A Cookie!). We decided to share our good fortune and create a special story time event with the Sandwich Public Library. On Wednesday March 12th, over 150 people gathered to hear Ms. Numeroff read from her newest book The Jellybeans and The Big Dance. We even had a guest ballerina for the event (as you can see from the pictures).

Laura Numeroff was such a gracious guest that she even held a special talk at the bookshop for the second grade class from Cape Cod Academy bright and early on Wednesday morning. (When an author is on an exhausting book tour, asking them to come host a group of second graders at 8:30am is pretty pushy on our part and extremely kind on her part to agree!) They discussed circular writing.

If you missed the event, we do have a limited number of signed picture books available for sale. Call or come in if you’re interested. If you didn’t know about this event ahead of time you should have been on our email newsletter list! Sign up on the main page of our website.
