Children's Author Visits The Town Book Store

Meet Linda Lodding author of the children’s book The Busy Life of Ernestine Buckmeister Ernestine Buckmeister is the poster child for today's over-scheduled child. Her week is chock-a-block with lessons. From karate with Grand Master HiYa! to yodeling with Little Old Lady Who. But Ernestine is about to opt out and do what no Buckmeister before has ever done...PLAY! With vibrant, whimsical illustrations from Suzanne Beaky, this book will hopefully put play back on every child's agenda.

Linda Lodding is originally from the New Jersey area, but has spent the past 15 years in Sweden, Austria and now The Netherlands. Today she lives in her one-windmill town, with her husband and daughter (who is, at times, as busy as Ernestine).

If you are unable to attend this event, feel free to call The Town Book Store at (908) 233-3535 to reserve an autographed copy.
