It’s Halloween and I rushed through Dallas rush hour traffic to make the signing in time. I needed to get there fast and get out fast so I could travel an even longer distance home. I didn’t want to miss any Trick or Treaters.
The signing was at 5PM. Even though it was inconvenient, it made sense. The signing’s not for me. It’s for the fans of Laura Numeroff who are ages 2 to 6 years old. They would be out well past their bed times if this was held at the normal time. Also the kids still needed to do their Trick or Treating.
I arrived well after 5PM. I can tell there was a reading as I saw the mats on the floor in a semi-circle. The Q&A is over although Laura spent time with every child and mom. While the kids were ready to leave the moms were excited about the new book, If You Give a Dog a Donut.
