Peter Brown\, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways.
We love thee for the silliness and giddyness
Our souls can reach when reading Chowder\,
and For the friends of Chowder\: Bernie &\; Madge.
We love thee to the level of the Dodo's
Most lofty Flight\, in the sky's blue heights.
We love thy books\, from the first to the latest
We love thy drawings\, including those in The Purple Kangaroo.
We love the seeds put to use
In A Curious Garden\, with a child's hand &\; faith.
We love thee for the books
Words\, and art of all your life\, and\, if you still choose\,
We cannot wait for your visit on September 12.

Book Club DESCRIPTION:\;
An
autocracy is a system where ONE person has absolute power. In a way The
Adult’s Only Book Club is such a system. I pick the time\, I choose the
date\, I select the place\, AND Me \, Myself and I decide upon the books
that we’ll read. I also determine whether we’ll have snacks or not and
what those snacks will be. I CAN’T however force anyone to attend the
meetings. I CAN hope you’ll check out the book selections and that
you’ll WANT to come and join us. Hope to see you on the second Monday
of each month . . . YES\, I mean YOU!
\;
At this meeting\, we will discuss Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy.
\;

\;
Justin Somper vants to suck your blood . . . and then collect some booty.
\;
Actually\, we hear he's a nice guy\, and we're fairly certain that\, unlike the characters in his books\, he\:
A.) does not come from 500 years in the future
B.) is not a vampire
C.) is not a pirate
D.) is not a combination of a vampire and a pirate.
\;
\;
So you will (probably) be safe coming to hear Justin talk about the newest book in his exciting Vampirates series\: Empire of the Night. Warning\: this one has a lot of drama\, revenge\, and potential terror\, including a fight for the throne of the Vampirate Kingdom.

DESCRIPTION:\;
There are no words for how much we adore Tony DiTerlizzi. Every time he comes to Wild Rumpus\, our adoration grows. If the store had a pocket\, we would put him in it and carry him around. Unfortunately\, buildings do not have pockets nor\, for that matter\, clothing. Plus\, he may not agree to this arrangement even if we could somehow make clothing to fit. Or maybe a fanny pack.
But we digress. Tony DiTerlizzi has written a new book. The Search for WondLa is its' name\, and nothing else is the same. It's truly outrageous. Truly\, truly\, truly outrageous! WondLa! The book is contagious. (Outrageous!)
So get your booty over to Wild Rumpus and laugh it off (you will--all three of the chickens guarantee it) on September 30.
You. Will. Not. Regret. It.

DESCRIPTION:Who's the most sought after author in teen literature today? One guess. That's right\: SUZANNE COLLINS! And she's coming to Wild Rumpus! We can hardly believe our luck.
The author of the thrilling page-turner Hunger Games and shockingly amazing sequel Catching Fire is visiting just in time for the highly anticipated conclusion to the trilogy\, Mockingjay.
You do not want to miss this event. Does anything more need to be said? No way.
\;
Please note\: Because of an injury to her wrist\, Ms. Collins will stamp books with a Mockingjay stamp specially designed for this 2010 tour rather than signing. In the interest of time\, Ms. Collins will only be able to stamp one book per person\, and will be unable to personalize books.
