Blog Talk Radio Interview

I had a fun time talking with April and Margaret today on the Robin Falls Kids Show.

Here's the Blog Talk Radio link if you'd like to listen to our conversation.

More All-Stars Plus Robin Falls Kids Story Time Event

Just a few more photos from the big game on Tuesday night.

The theme for the evening--GO BEYOND--was celebrated in a tribute to numerous hometown heroes from across the U.S. whose charitable efforts were truly amazing.

My son Dan and his wife Megan wait in line with us to enter the stadium. Megan is a true-blue (and RED) Cardinals fan. Some of their wedding day photos were shot at the old Busch Stadium.

All-Star Cardinals first baseman, Albert Pujols, walks with President Obama after the ceremonial first pitch.

Glittery streamers filled the sky as the game got under way. I felt like a little kid at the bestest birthday party ever!

Special Education Teacher, Cathy Eshleman of Kearney, NB had this to say about the book:

Through the use of hamster antics, Cynthia Reeg, in her whimsical style, writes about nouns and adjectives in a way that will capture the interest of any student. Hamster Holidays: Noun and Adjective Adventures is a "must have" for any teacher who is introducing or reinforcing nouns or adjectives in the classroom.

Awesome Interview

I had a great time today with Suzanne Lieurance at BOOK BITES FOR KIDS on BlogTalkRadio. Truly, the 30 minutes flew by, but I was discussing a subject I knew well and had great interest in--ME!

I would rate this as a 3Brownie interview--at least that's how many brownies I ate before the interview. No power drinks or coffee for me. This children's author runs on Triple-Chunk Fudge Brownies. :-)

Hope you enjoy the interview....
