I was on the phone with Alan Cheuse, book reviewer for NPR. He sounded a little tired. Maybe he was doing a Blogathon 2010 himself. We talked briefly about my book. It reminded me of the time I was in New York with my comic strip Camp Pinetar, talking with the guys at King Features. New York, and Washington are really far away from where I live. Those guys and I have very different lives. But we all enjoy good books and good cartoons. I really believe that my new book “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com\/tooth<\/a> is a winner. How do I know? When a grandma comes up to me on a ski slope in Aspen and gives me a big hug because of the book, I know it’s a winner. When a parent tells me that she has read the book “about 18 times already”, I know it’s a winner. When a parent comes back 5 times in a month and orders more books to give away, I know it’s a winner. I hope you’ll try the book. You deserve a good laugh. Thanks. Jerry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
