ENTER THE AMBASSADOR!

Okay... so the reason I didn't gorge myself on pizza and delicious baked goods at the Colfax Family Reading Night was because me and the fabulous Mrs. Warburton had other plans for our evening repast.

But WHAT could be so awesome as to make us skip pizza and cupcakes?!

ENTER THE AMBASSADOR!

That's right.

I'm talkin' about the Kommander of Kids Books...
The Ayatollah of Read-n-Rolla...
The former National Ambassador of Children's Books...
The Stinky Cheese Man himself...

JON SCIESZKA!

He was in town to promote his latest book:


Since moving away from Brooklyn we don't get to see
The Ambassador much anymore.
So it was a sooper treat to have him all to ourselves and talk about all the important things like:

Life.
Love.
Books.
and
Spinach artichoke dip.

In fact, here's a picture of Jon trying to claim diplomatic immunity after selfishly taking the last scoop of dip.


And I'm buyin' every word of it.
What a sap.

Mr. Scieszka is still on tour, so go to his website and check out if he's comin' to your town to help you party it down.

And go grab your copy of SPACEHEADZ, would ya?
(you get sooper bonus points if you noticed that sooper powered illustrator/character designer/writer/etc etc Shane Prigmore illustrated the book!)
