The great thing about writing a blog is that it can evolve. We started the Bob Books blog with lots of background information about reading, literacy and education - information that you can use as your youngster heads into the adventure of reading. It has also been fun to bring you the tales of our reader in training, Wilson; give you insight into the Maslens, and a glimpse of our illustrator, Sue Hendra.
Now, for a bit more of a behind the scenes at Bob Books:
First, the Maslens. With eight grandchildren to spoil and enjoy, Bobby Lynn and John, a.k.a. Mom and Dad, are partially retired, living in Portland, Oregon. They each have new projects they are involved in which keep them busy. For example, John’s major project involves trying to hit a small white sphere into a small hole in a big lawn – often in the mud, rain and cold. He occasionally convinces one of his sons to join him in this questionable endeavor. Their eldest daughter Lynn (me) is instrumental in running the Bob Books business – writing new Bob Books, interfacing with Scholastic and updating the web site. Plus, she has a few other surprises up her sleeves - you’ll get to hear about them here first!
Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks and months.
As always, your comments, questions and feedback are always appreciated!
Yours truly,
Lynn Maslen Kertell
Managing Partner and Author, Bob Books Publications
