Join us for a Saturday Signing with author Mary Anne Abdo to hear about her new book for children.
About the Book
Pumpkin the Cat Who Loves to Rhyme
Pumpkin just wrote his first poetry book with Mr. Charles D. Groundhog, the squirrels, the birds, and his sister Dusty. Poetry is so much fun when you can rhyme with words. You can mix and match words to form your own sentences. Since it’s the 250th birthday to celebrate our nation, this book is a commemorative edition. Through these pages you will find ways to join this big party with family, food, parades, and fireworks. Pumpkin and his friends invite you to write and share your words for this magical year.
