Welcome 2012!

I’m glad you’re visiting my web site. This year promises to be an exciting, more optimistic one for us all.

The 4th Princess Posey book will be out in August: Princess Posey and the Monster Stew. (The jacket is orange. It’s a Halloween story.) Two more Posey books will follow in 2013.

I hope to have more good book news here this year, too. Do look around and be sure to come back.

PRINCESS POSEY AND THE NEXT DOOR DOG, Putnam

“This Posey book is an especially winning tale … Storytelling in a book for newly independent readers can seem stiff, but Greene doesn’t miss a step. Posey is the perfection fictional friend for any first-grade girl.” (Chapter books. 5-8) Kirkus review 8/11

 

Look for the first two books about Princess Posey:

 

 

 

 

 

#1 Princess Posey and the First Grade Parade: “Six-year-old Posey, in a sparkling tutu on the cover, will capture the attention of young emerging readers. … this new chapter book series will be warmly received by youngsters looking for something comfortable and familiar to begin with.” The Horn Book, June/June

• Indie Summer Reading List Pick 2010

 

#2 Princess Posey and the Perfect Present:

(Kirkus review): Very short chapters, generous font, lots of eye-saving white space on each page and frequent black-and-white illustrations make this longish early chapter book accessible to the very earliest reader. Posey is flawed in a way that is absolutely perfect. She struggles with her emotions and finds her way back with the help of her mother, teacher and small circle of buddies. Here’s hoping for more tales of Posey. (Fiction. 5-8)

I’m now scheduling visits for Spring of 2012. Check my School Visits page for information.
