Wowee! The evil truck's been delivering lots of fat envelopes to my mail box this fall! A giant thank you to all the awesome classrooms who've written notes, created art, and sent pictures. Connecting with readers is my favorite part of being an author.

I've been doing my best to share quotes and photos on my twitter, instagram, and pinterest accounts. I also thought it would be fun to post a random sampling of these treasures here. Hope you enjoy!

I love Fenway and Hattie because it teaches the moral to never give up for bringing someone back. – Shalini, 3rd grader in Iowa

Personally I got excited just by looking at the cover and it was the best book ever! – Pratyush, 3rd grader in Minnesota

Every single artist has the brown paw game on!

My favorite part about your books is all the nicknames Fenway has for the people he meets, like Food Lady, Tool Man, and the Big Brown Truck. – Kate, 4th grader in Kansas

I was absorbed in the story. I felt like I was Fenway because he likes treats and I like treats. – Cynthia, 5th grader in California

Serious props to all these artists! (And it looks like someone's ready for The Evil Bunny Gang...)

I love Fenway and Hattie! I give it four stars! – Rianna, 4th grader in Kansas

Fenway is the best dog in the world and the most funnest dog in the world. – Lincoln, 3rd grader in Illinois

WHOA! What an incredible list to be part of! Very honored!
