Capybaras in Japan are Reading Celeste!

Harry the Capybara

I was so excited when my friend Neighboring Wild (@nbwild) sent me a link to his blog showing capybaras and other animals reading my book, Celeste and the Giant Hamster! Look how cute little Harry is in the photo above. He even has a little tuft of hair on his forehead just like I do! Of course he’s still a baby so the zookeeper has to read the book to him. Plus it might be scary a little for a baby capybara to read alone.

The blog is in Japanese but even if you don’t understand the words, the photos are priceless.

Don’t forget to pick up your own version of Celeste and the Giant Hamster either on Amazon or here.

Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father's Day!

One of my viewers sent me a request to have my photo taken with a little sign wishing her father–who I hear is The World’s Best Dad–a happy Father’s Day. I was just supposed to email it to him, which I will do, but it got me thinking. There are a lot of great dads out there. They probably all deserve signs. I can’t make one for everyone so I’m going to post this same photo with the dad’s name. My viewers can photoshop in the right name or just print the photo and write in a new name. I would love to hear if anyone decides to do this and what the reaction of the recipient dad is. In the meantime…

Happy Father’s Day to all you great dads out there!

By the way, Steve has a guinea pig rescue operation and so I know he really is a great guy!

父の日おめでとう！

父の日、おめでとう！

読者の中の一人が、世界で一番すてきなお父さんに、ということで、父の日をお祝いするカードと一緒に僕の写真を撮って欲しいとお願いしてきたんだ。父の日おめでとう！それで、その子にメールをすればいいわけなんだけど、ちょっとまてよ、と。世の中にはすてきなパパがいっぱいいるわけで、みんな、カードをもらうべきだと思うんだ。でも、皆にカードを送るわけにはいかないんで、とりあえずその子のパパの名前で写真を載せるね。皆は、これをフォトショップで加工するなり、印刷して名前を書き直すなり、してくれればいいわけでしょ。誰かそうしてくれて、そのパパの反応が知りたいなあ・・・それはそうと、

素敵なパパたち皆に、父の日おめでとう！

ちなみに、スティーブはギニアピッグ救済事業 guinea pig rescue operation を行っていて、すごく素敵な人なんだよ！

My Pawprints

My Pawtograph

The image above is my classic pawtograph. It is of my right front foot (notice that my little toe is on the outside not on the inside like on humans). Of course, a real pawprint doesn’t look quite like that. Really they are messy and indistinct and I normally smudge the front ones up with the back ones when I walk over them.
