Reading Bee

Hi! Has anyone heard a presentation by children's author Jack Gantos? If so, what did you think? I laughed until tears came to my eyes at the April, Great Books presentation in Baltimore County. He lived a very colorful life! The story about the babysitter putting his baby brother to sleep by holding him over the gas stove is incredible. I wonder if her is writing an autobiography?

Shutterfly.com is a great site that enables you to make albums out of your digital photos.Our
friends made an album of our Mediterranean Cruise using digital photos and gave it to us for Christmas. The album is much less heavy and cumbersom than if it were a regular photo album. Although, the way it is done, it looks like photos with the old fashioned corner tabs.

Hi Vera,

I saw Jack Gantos at ALA. I also thought he was hilarious. I would like to get him to come to the shore for a visit.

Jack Gantos' autobiography is called Hole in My Life. I haven't read it yet but I bought it a couple months ago for the library. Would you like to borrow it?
