Dear Librarian: As a youngster, I cut my chops on Dick and Jane. Ugh, simple words but no story. As a writer, and former elementary school teacher, I love creating simply worded inventive, funny stories that new readers can decipher and enjoy. The result—the Max and Mo series—two hamster friends living in a cozy cage, in a school's art room, having adventures when the "big ones" leave. In MAX AND MO GO APPLE PICKING, they have a food revolt, a daring escape, a near death experience, and learn how to make apple prints and applesauce—with directions included—told in less than 300 easy-to-decipher words. Max licked. "Applesauce! Yum!" Mo picked. "Apple bits! Yum!" Need a book with simple words and a fast paced story? That's MAX AND MO GO APPLE PICKING, Yum! Win this book, signed by Brian Floca and me: describe and name an imaginary classroom pet and send to patty@patricialakin.com by October 15th. Five winners will be selected. Patricia Lakin
