Award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Rosemary Wells — perhaps best known for her sibling bunny characters “Max and Ruby” of books and television’s Nickelodeon — will visit Mission Viejo on Wednesday, Sept. 14 to discuss and sign her new book “Hands Off, Harry!”
The book is the first in Wells’ 10-part “Kindergators” picture book series. It focuses on a little alligator — Harry — misbehaving in his classroom, and how the situation is eventually resolved by his caring teacher, Miss Harmony. The book is a fun way to get kids ready for kindergarten.
The Writers Present program is at 4 p.m. in the Saddleback Room at City Hall, 200 Civic Center. Books purchased at the event will be signed by Wells. This program is sponsored by A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe and the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library. Reservations for this free event are available by e-mailing libreference@cityofmissionviejo.org or calling 949-830-7100 x5105.
