Accidential Librarian Potty Humor and The Best Book, Ever
Peepy is very impressed with herself.

We’re in Cleveland, Ohio right now and look what greeted us on our hotel room door . . .

Inside was even more fun including presents and fortune cookies that read “Lisa Yee is coming!” Plus, a WONDERFUL BOOK that I’ll share with you later. But first, food.

Dinner was with the dazzling librarians from Westlake Porter Library . . .

FYI, librarians sometimes engage in potty humor—even if they aren’t aware of it. I won’t name names (first person on the left), but one said, “The bathroom at this restaurant is really nice. Hey, you should take a picture of your Peepy in the bathroom!”

Try reading that last line out loud . . .

Then it was off to the library . . . Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

We had a full house for the presentation and the Q and A was especially fun!

The next day was school visits. The kids were so marvelous as you can see. Uh. Oh. Um, oops. The photographer had some problems with her flash . . .

Later it was time for coffee time with talented author, Anne Ursu. Son just gobbled up The Shadow Thieves and can’t wait to get to The Siren Song. Here’s Anne and her darling Dash, who developed a fondness for Peepy . . .

And now, here’s a sneak peek at a book that’s sure to an instant classic. It’s next year’s National Book Award winner, for sure. Jamie created it with the help of the other Westlake Porter librarians . . .

Who knew librarians were so funny? :>)

Lisa See was at my library today. She needs a Peep to travel with.

Love that book! (I'm sure all those celeb quotes are 100% accurate.)

I guess Peepy is what sets the two Lisas apart.

Wowza! This book is a quadruple Hottie McHottie Extravaganza (plus an Ugly Betty for balance). This could only be improved with the addition of the following pages:

George Clooney - AKA Hottie McClooney
Craig Daniel - AKA Hottie McBondie
David Tennant - AKA Hottie McDoc-in-a-box
Ewan McGregor - AKA Hottie McScottie

Now that's a book that would melt your peep! :0

Actually, George Clooney is in the book! (I only showed a glimpse of the wonderfulness/hottie-ness.)

Looks like you had a great time! I'm glad the Westlake Librarians were so nice. They always are nice! Actually, I think I know one in that picture.

Woah.... that sink is odd.

Peepy thought the sink was a waterfall and wanted to go swimming.

Tell your son he is going to love Anne Ursu's next book, Siren Song. I just finished it myself and it's wonderful!

P.S. I heard Tom Selleck was miffed because he wasn't asked to be included in your fan book. Perhaps he's being saved for the sequel?
