Hello, Readers. As you've probably noticed, I've been a little preoccupied lately and for this I apologize. We've had some medical issues to contend with in our family, along with some legal matters, and I've also been swept up in activities and events surrounding the release of my first picture book, COOL DADDY RAT.

I've been writing blogs for families.com for two years now, and I always love receiving comments about my posts. I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to drop me a note. I hope each of you amazing parents are doing well and that your special kids are happily achieving success in their own ways.

As a gift to my readers, I'd like to offer a free copy of my picture book, COOL DADDY RAT, to the first several individuals who reply to this post and mention a special needs blog I've written that they liked, or a topic they'd like me to address in the future. This is feedback I really need, and will provide me with helpful information. [SORRY, AS OF 4/19/08 I HAVE NO FREE COPIES LEFT. YOU CAN ORDER COPIES OFF AMAZON.COM. THANK YOU!]

To get a free copy of the book (while my supplies last) here's what you need to do:

• Visit my website at www.kristyncrow.com. Find the CONTACT ME tab and email me with your name and mailing address, the name of a special needs blog post that you liked or was helpful to you, and whether you'd like the book signed, and for whom.

Cool Daddy Rat is a story about a jazz musician rat whose little son, Ace, stows away just for the thrill of watching his daddy perform. It's a fun read-aloud with scat verses, and could make a great father's day gift. It has received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal. I think you'll really love the illustrations by Mike Lester-which include lively cityscapes of New York. Get your kids jazzed about reading! And thank you for your time and interest over these last two years. Some links on this blog may have been generated by outside sources are not necessarily endorsed by Kristyn Crow.
