Just got an email from Barnes & Noble touting your new book “What if?” available April 27, 2010. Of course I pre-ordered it so I can be the “first on my block ” with a copy. Can’t wait to read it.
P.S. Wasn’t aware of your “Queen of the Concept Book” moniker…am honored to know royalty!

Walter’s face caught my eye as I was selecting books on the Bookmobile. I had to take him home with me. At one time I taught in a Day Care, and always tried to have quality books. Walter Was Worried is a gem of a book. I will look forward to reading your other books. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m 74 now, and wouldn’t have missed this for anything,

A children’s book lover and illustrator with 2 kids (10&4) just want to send you our appreciation of such wonderful exhibition. The installation of the show was wonderful. All the hands-on activities were all so appropriate and engaging for adults and children alike. I did not know about your work before and was glad to experience it at the exhibit. Love the video your son’s made, I watched it at the show for about 6 times:) Thank you for bringing such simple joy of exploration in prints:)

I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to discover your Dog and Bear books at our book fair today! My son, Davy, has a most beloved teddy bear named Bobo who looks like Bear’s twin! Bobo just has one white arm and a white snout, but otherwise he’s the same. I was wondering what your inspiration was for how Bear looked? Thank you so much for this book - and such a cute story, too! I’m sure this book will become a treasure in our family!

Hello Laura,

I recently heard you talk at the NAEYC Conference in Dallas. You did a terrific job! Your books are fabulous and it was very interesting to hear and see how you create them. Our preschoolers love all of them. Keep ‘em coming. Thank you so, so much for all you do to enrich the lives of young children.

With my warmest good wishes for you and your family,

Lyn

Great idea, Su! I’ve been meaning to do just that and will definitely add some interactive activities right away. I recently added “How to draw Bear”, found near the top of this page. Thanks again!

Wowee! I loved the exhibit at the Nassau County Museum of Art. I’m telling everyone I know to go see it. I can’t wait until you visit our school, East Lake, next spring. Every time I have contact with your work, I love it more and more. Keep it up. I’m anxiously anticipating your next endeavor.

Laura,
It was such a pleasure meeting you at the Mazza Summer Institute in Findlay, Ohio. Your enthusiasm for children’s literature and illustrations are contagious! Also, I am looking forward to using your activities and delightful books during my student teaching experience this fall. Thank you for personalizing my books and taking the time to illustrate your special Bear to me!

Laura, I’m in Anita Silvey’s class too and LOVED speaking with you on the teleconference yesterday! Thanks so much for taking time to do that, I loved hearing your energy and enthusiasm! I teach Kindergarten and first grade and you can be sure I will be adding Dog and Bear to our reading list, as well as all the others to our bookshelves! Keep them coming!

Hi, Laura, So glad the latest adventures of Dog and Bear are finally out for all to see and read about. I am sure there will be more up with those two. Just curious if you received a copy of my 1st Grader’s book Flip-flops are NOT high inspired by Lemons… Hope you did. Best to you. Pat DeMarco

Great article about you in NEWSDAY today! Always nice to read about the success of our favorite author and good friend. Keep up the creativity…the accolades and awards will keep rolling in. Also loved Dylan’s video.

Hi there - I just wanted to say how much I love Dog and Bear and cannot wait for the second book to be released April 1st. We have a dachshund and my kids are my little bear cubs. I cannot read the book enough. You can surely create a lot of adventures for those 2!! Thank you so much. You are our new fave children’s author. I will definitely buy your other books. Missy

Dear Laura:

I found you!
Hurrah!
Pamela Ross wishing you all the best and so many congratulations on all your success.

I’ve thought so often of you since moving further out on the Island. Hope you remember Sabrina. Hard to believe that little funny girl turned 13 last week. {}

I listened live as as the ALA awards were announced. When I heard your name, I smiled and wept for you. What a wonderful feeling.

My two daughters miss their old home and their buddies Chloe and Sydney but their new home brought them a true L.I. backyard– and room enough for a dog of our own.

Thank g-d for Google. You were here just where I should have thought of long ago. I am so glad I have this chance to say hello and to let you know we’ve been a fan since the day we first read your ROOSTER book oh so many sweet days ago. {}

Be well, love to you and your family,
Pamela Ross
