Dear Daniel,

Aware of your fondness for Hoboken, and that it was your old stomping ground, I thought I’d alert you to my wife’s and my new book, A Huge Hog Is a Big Pig–a rhyming word game. You should be receiving a copy of it right about now from Greenwillow Books/HarperCollins Publishers. Take a gander at it and know that about half the three dozen children in the book are Hoboken kids.

A wet hound is a . . . SOGGY DOGGY. These photographs were taken in one of those tight little Hoboken back yards.

Best wishes,

Francis McCall

Thanks for the heads-up. I look forward to enjoying your book.
