Author of Spider in Our Mailbox, Linda Asato is a member of VBT - Writers on the Move and it's my pleasure to host her today and again on Friday, the 3rd. Linda joined our merry band for the June tour so it's great learning all about her and her work.
We'll learn more about Linda on Friday. Today, let's find out about Spider in Out Mailbox. I love the cover!
Title: Spider in Our Mailbox
Author: Linda Asato
Illustrator: Ryan Shaw
Publisher: 4RV Publishing
Released: May 2009
ISBN 13: 978-0-9818685-5-4
Here is a review from Vivian Zabel of 4RV Publishing:
Children love stories about family, animals, and other creatures, especially when they can learn things at the same time. Linda Asato tells the tale of a little girl who checks the mail every day – allowing children to learn the days of the week, and sees a spider in the mailbox (number one). The second day, she sees two crows (number two). Each day the types and number of creatures changes, but the spider remains. Each day, the girl runs to tell her busy mother what she saw.
Lessons to learn are counting to seven and the days of the week, learned in a fun way.
Ryan Shaw brings Asato’s delightful story to life with his bright illustrations.

ps - please do me a favor, whatever you can, maybe post an announcement for me on VBT - my former blogs are gone - zapped by the evil Google Nazis - long story that I will not go into for fear of exploding in rage, but - new site is at http://theoldsilly.com
I'd post it myself but VBT is glitching on me and I can't post anything! AAARGH!!
Thanks Marvin and Dorothy for stopping by. Linda's book does look wonderful.

Hi, Kathy and Nancy.
Thanks for stopping by.

I didn't know a lot about this book before now, but I can't think of a better way to teach kids numbers and days of the week at the same time. On my to-read list now.
Looks interesting, I will come back on Friday to learn more about Linda. I love the spider image!
