June and July will be good months for print reviews of Journey to Mythaca: one is coming out in the June/July issue of a homeschool magazine in Great Britain, and another will be in several small town weeklies in Marin County and the local free monthly here.
Today I'll write to the independent bookstores in Marin. I wish I could visit them in person with my basket of books but there's no time this month.

Spring is here and with it a discreet surge in visitors coming to see Winnie-the-Pooh at Donnell. Glancing at the guestbook today, I saw that the Brits are back in Bring-the-Bear-Home force. They'd been quiet for a while, and I just assumed that meant that they'd accepted that Pooh was now an official resident of New York (he likes bagels and everything). No go. Springtime just makes them all the more insistent. The Australians, who often write defenses of Pooh in the guestbook, recently put down, "They'll send Pooh back when you return the Elgin Marbles". Ow.
It is, admittedly, a little odd that America even has the bear. I guess that's what happens when publishers go about buying literary figures before Disney can. You know what else we have? Pooh bombs. Or rather ticking Pooh-shaped structures that are sometimes mistaken for bombs. These are dangerous times to live in.
Thanks to Strollerderby for the link.
Tut tut.
After reading the article, (quite amusing, btw) I have to say that an Exorcist Pooh phone sounds rather disturbing on its own...
Disturbing? Or awesome? Think about it.
