A LETTER TO MY FRIEND ~ ERin, the LITERARY CAT

By way of introduction, this is my friend ERin (or more properly ERin Chumley), a very literary
cat and also a Princess.  Her dear friend is Mrs. H (again, to be precise, Mrs. Hudson).
They are well known to do considerably concise and delightful book reviews
on a regular basis, but together, along with a charming cast of characters, are 
"authors" of some renown in their own right.
ERin pens and posts at her own blog, most often each Sunday, but on other days
as well, and we encourage you to VISIT HER HERE.

~ now, with the formal introduction over, I share with you, my letter to ERin ~

_____________________________

Dear ERin,

It was not so long ago that you (writing as M. E. Watson), along with our dear friend, Kerry, gifted us your lovely book Pirates & Pussycats, The Hunt for White Tail's Treasure.  

First, together we share in the loss of our beloved Kerry who sadly crossed her Rainbow Bridge and will always be remembered. 

After reading your book and believing in pawing forward, it was passed on to another "grandma" in our building for her little grand girl.  Just recently, mine Mommy saw the two of them in our lobby ~ the little girl shyly said, "thank you m'am, I liked the storybook".  Mommy thought you should know.  I believe Miss Kerry heard her say that.

And then, mine Mommy chatted with you about drama students she knew here from a high school for the arts, and a smaller but similar group of drama students in elementary school here, that she did not personally know but had been told about by her teacher friend.  

Before she even realized what was going on, but knowing the importance and value of reading at a young age ~ you, ERin, along with Mrs. Hudson and Mr. Watson stepped forward and told mine Mommy that a wonderful gift package of books was on its way to her!  Ten copies ~ oh my kitty cat, of their newest book ~ Chumley and Hudson Investigate, The King Herod's Affair.

What truly fabulous gifts, what a kind and generous thing for all of you to do for us and for these young school children who are receiving these books. The simple words of thank you seem not enough.  We are very grateful. 

Meows of thanks, JUNE and mine Mommy

  3. Thank you for penning such fine words of thanks. Kerry, Mrs H and I know the value of words, fun, and the friendships - not just of the human kind - they create. The fact that young minds may be entertained and go on to enjoy books for books sake, well, that is an awesome thing to achieve. I am sure Kerry will have heard that child, and be deeply touched, much the same as we were when you told us. When books 2 & 3 come out, we will share them with your young readers.
    We loved that you paid the book forwards. Just think of all the joy it has and hopefully will create along the way.
    From Mrs H & and I
    Thank you again.

  19. What a winner of the thing to do! Children love to read when given books as gifts from friends and family, and then are more likely to become good readers.
