Fans and friends flocked to the CASO Station on Sunday to join Christine Klaus Noble for the launch of her four children’s books.
From the round-the-world quest for a perfect pet (not an alpaca) in Can I Please have a Pet? to Keith’s annoying habit of scaring family members (including Nana reading a Looney Spoons cookbook at the cottage) in Ooga Booga, the books are packed with busy family life and warmth. Vivid, imaginative and fun illustrations by Martin Murtonen fill every page.

Christine’s telling of stories came about as she developed methods for teaching conversational English to young students just learning to speak English. They contain the rhythm and repetition that any young children love.

Christine is a native of St. Thomas and raised her now-grown sons in Middlemarch. Her family has inspired her storytelling, and many of them make appearances in all four of the books – Andrew, Where Are You, Ooga Booga, Can I Please Have A Pet! and Terry Remembered. They are available at www.kikkyboo.com.
