An open letter to Author Barbara Robinson:
Dear Barbara,
For years our family has enjoyed ‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.’ Beth’s clear voice detailing life with the Herdmans is both funny and honest. Claude, Imogene, and Ollie are like no other kids we’ve known and yet poignantly remind us of our very selves. Recently we had the pleasure of reading ‘The Best School Year Ever’ and ‘The Best Halloween Ever’
and to you we say: More! More! More!
We want to read more about Leroy. We want to better understand Imogene. We want to know what happens to that one-eyed cat! We want books (and movies) that bring young readers to Beth’s hometown to marvel and gasp at the unending adventure of children who seem bad, and mean, and nasty, and crazy AND ultimately terribly misunderstood.
Keep writing Barbara. We want to keep reading!
Sincerely,
NW Kid Chaser
