Loren Long WEDNESDAY September 28 at 4PM!
OOPS! We accidentally published the wrong date for the visit we are
eagerly anticipating with Loren Long: Please join us on
Wednesday, September 28 at 2PM for an author event for his latest book,
Otis and the Kittens!
Join us as the #1 bestselling creator of Otis the Tractor presents an
homage to firefighters everywhere-and to the many boys and girls who dream big of being heroes.
About the book: One hot afternoon, when Otis and his friends are resting beneath the shade of the apple tree, Otis spots something moving down in the valley-an orange tabby cat headed straight for the old barn. But then Otis sees something else that causes his engine to sputter...a swirl of smoke coming from the same barn. A fire!
Told with a sense of play and devotion, this is a heartwarming tale that reminds readers that sometimes even those who we count on to help us need a little help themselves. From the creator of
Otis,
Otis and the Puppy, and the illustrator of
The Little Engine That Could and
Of Thee I Sing by President Barack Obama.
Best for ages 4 to 8.
