I’ve been away for a few days and a few things have happened that I need to post.

First,  I spent the morning before I left talking about Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator with junior naturalists at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. Several of these engaging 6th and 7th graders had come across wolfsnails in their own backyards. It was a little difficult to show my slides in the outdoor classroom, but it was a very neat (if hot and humid) environment.

Second, Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator received a nice review from Amy Schardein, a librarian in Kentucky.

Third, a reporter from a website called Mississippi Moms wrote a piece on the writing of Wolfsnai: A Backyard Predator.You can read it here.

I also want to let all the folks in the Hattiesburg area know that I’ll be reading and signing books at Main Street Books on Tuesday, July 15th at 10 a.m.
