The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside

Perhaps you've seen her on the ferry pounding furiously away at her iBook and wondered what was so all-consuming about that little screen. Well, Staten Island's favorite children's book writer and illustrator (and the Prodigal Borough's own favorite girl in the world), Cynthia von Buhler, today announced the inception of a new blog, Come Inside Kitty. The site will serve as the news page for www.comeinsidekitty.com, the official website of her forthcoming book, The Cat Who Wouldn't Come Inside, published by Houghton Mifflin. The book features an elaborate handmade dollhouse set and several bewitching characters from the animal and human kingdoms, and although I'm a little old for it, it is a pretty entertaining read.

Additionally, rumor has it that the HM public relations machine has already begun promoting the book, which is slated to appear nationwide on bookstore shelves this fall. Von Buhler herself will be touring to give signings and workshops on creating the sculpted animals -- check the blog for her appearance schedule and other updates.
