'Fancy Nancy' Children's Book Artist to Visit

Just a few days before Valentine's Day, Illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser is bringing a love story for children to Mission Viejo

If your little readers love all things frilly, fancy and frou-frou, they've probably come across the number-one New York Times best-seller "Fancy Nancy."

The series' illustrator will appear Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 5 p.m. in the Saddleback Room at City Hall. It's part of the city's "Writers Present" program.

Robin Preiss Glasser has been known to sport pink feather boas and long pink gloves as she meets her chic admirers in person. She's out touting the second book in the series, "Nancy Clancy, Secret Admirer."

In her latest adventure, Nancy Clancy and her best friend Bree have love on the brain (after all, they're learning about the human heart in science class). But when the girls decide to play matchmaker, nothing works out as planned.

The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library and A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe.

Fancy Nancy and Clancy Nancy books will be sold onsite and signed by Glasser.

To reserve a seat, call (949) 830-7100 ext. 5105.

Hiding? It's on my blog in plain site. The language, which isn't mine, by and large, isn'tRead More appropriate for a site like Patch.

Now wait a second—UV exposure causes skin cancer, and sunscreen prevents UV exposure, right?Read More And so what if the neighborhood hounds tend to give you a little extra attention while you're wearing it? It's a small price to pay I'd say.

I know where they should be issuing speeding tickets: Marguerite Pkwy. between Crown Valley andRead More Avery Parkway between 6:10 and 6:25 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. Teens are frantically rushing to get to CVHS upper lot before it gets full. Every morning I see kids running red lights, speeding and weaving in and out of traffic with no regard for anyone else.

The MV motorcycle cops are all over the place. I'd like to know the number of traffic citationsRead More issued in MV versus our other neighboring cities.

Why are all the Motorcycle cops in MV OVERWEIGHT???

I've got some good news for the Mission Viejo Patch Whiners (®). It seems we're still migratingRead More a lot of the old content onto the new site. Expect to see videos repopulated soon, and I believe comments as well.

They are coming for the Johns now. DA Ruckysuckyducky has a new "shaming" program. I'mRead More sure it will work and prostitution will no longer be a curse upon the land...I mean, after all, the War on Drugs was a rollicking success!

That rings true, don't it: the 'flat spot' in an ongoing trend that will sometime soon go on. Eat,Read More drink and be, Mary, for tomorrow... a new interface will be introduced that strips hyperlinks, videos and comments from your bloggos and puts history out with the dogs. (whiiiiinnnnnnne)

There is a reason why sites like Patch 2.0 don't look good on Shripathi's Kindle-whatever screen,Read More but these sites do look great on the iPhone in Portrait for Landscape view. I'll be writing a post about that. If you're a business owner with a web site, you need to understand the reason in order to save money on your site.

The Bible also tells us that there were magicians who filled Egypt with blood, just like YahwehRead More helped Moses do. As to why magicians would fill the Nile (drinking supply), and their own country with blood, and stink it all up just to put Yahweh in his place is anyone's guess. Maybe this psychic can ask one of those magicians and let us know.

The bible tells us to flee the occult.
