Meeting Phineas' Favorite Author!

Phineas' favorite author is Chris Van Dusen, the author and illustrator of many children's books including several on a theme about a man named Mr. Magee and his little dog Dee.  We have a few of his books and they are a staple of our nightly stories.  We learned that he was going to be signing books at a local book store so we went down to meet him.  Phineas really wanted a specific Mr. Magee tale but they had just sold their last copy.  No worries though - Mr. Van Dusen had a copy for Phineas delivered from his house!  Wow!

After meeting and briefly chatting (Phineas told him his favorite stories and gave him a suggestion for a future book), we went to a local joint for a cookie treat and first read.  It was a very fun morning!
