Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

A few months ago, you graciously signed a bookplate or two for us here at the Prendergast Library. We recently wrapped up our summer reading program and had the drawing for the books and signed bookplates. We have been taking photographs of the children who won each prize. I have attached a picture of the prize winner of your book and bookplate to this email. We gave away “The Big Orange Splot.” The winner was Joshua Chase.

Thank you again for your time and for signing a bookplate for our library and young readers. It was much enjoyed and appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Butler

Children’s Room Assistant

James Prendergast Library, Jamestown, NY

And lucky winner, Joshua Chase, also receives a summer at the Pinkwaters' farm, where he will participate in the fun cleaning-out-the-barn project, and learn traditional lawn-mowing techniques.
