The Big Red ... Cat?
We love our library. Today our author-in-residence, Jack Gantos of Rotten Ralph fame, hosted a special storytime for the preschool set. After Mr. Gantos read to us from Not So Rotten Ralph, the real Rotten Ralph stopped by to shake hands, give hugs and high fives, and encouraged the kids to read. When the big red cat entered the room, Adelaide jumped up and did a labrador-like whole body wave in greeting. When it came time to actually shake hands a little later, Adelaide was a bit shy, but we had a great time anyway!

Moreover! During the proceedings, Adelaide and I sat at Jack Gantos' feet, affording him the opportunity to make witty asides with/to me, and affording Adelaide the opportunity to almost kick his dapper Italian loafers with her big red crocs when she wiggled.
