Another book event

Hi Everyone!
I have another book signing event scheduled. This time we'll be in Alcoa which is next to Maryville. I'll be at the Book Rack at 325 Gill St., Alcoa, TN 37701 from 1-3pm on January 9, 2015.

As is customary for me, I'll have free activity pages to hand out. There is a Stinkaroo Dog Crossword Puzzle, Synonym Matching page, How to Draw a Dog Like Patches page, and coloring pages, also a funny multiple choice quiz and a plot diagram page.
Looking forward to meeting some of my readers!
Hope to see you there.
If you already have a copy of the book, you can bring that and I will sign it.

update

Enjoyed my time at The Book Rack on Saturday. Met some interesting people and sold a few books. I'll be adding more educational activity pages to my new website:
The Stinkaroo Dog Webpage

There are directions on the site to show you how to print the Educational Activity Pages.
One of the pages shows readers HOW TO DRAW A DOG.

Another page is a crossword puzzle:

Educational pages, lesson plan helps

The Stinkaroo Dog and the Forbidden Portal is a great book for reluctant readers. The large words are divided into syllables, words like, o-dor-if-er-ous, and mis-un-der-stand-ing, or pre-dic-a-ment, that might be harder to sound out.
Teachers can use the book to teach a simple lesson on plot structure for all ages. A Plot Diagram Page with literary definitions is included on the Stinkaroo Dog Webpage (thestinkaroodog.tateauthor.com).
Parents and teachers and homeschool parents will also find a Synonym Page, and other activity pages at the website. The Crossword Puzzle has a word bank for younger students.
A simple lesson on drawing a dog using a quarter is posted under the Art Pages.
Visit the webpage and find more resources to use The Stinkaroo Dog and the Forbidden Portal by Lea Beall The Stinkaroo Dog for your next Art or Language Arts lesson.
