    Daniel Pinkwater’s FISH WHISTLE is back in a new e-edition. Feel free to click over and “like” it… and even buy a copy if you are so inclined. It is chock full of short essays on a variety of topics, from traveling in Africa (and eating the world’s hottest chili pepper!), to raising dogs (or having them raise you…). They are short and fun and sure to amuse. And hey: $2.99, not too shabby!

    Here’s an original piece of music, perfect for parading in Bughouse Square on Mr. Pinkwater’s Birthday.
    It’s called “The Wobbley Walk”.

    Happy Birthday and much love, Captain Pinkwater! May your eggplants never run dry!

    As a fan of Daniel’s books, herewith my warm birthday greetings. I read to 2nd and 3rd grade children in a LAUSD school and I use all the Larry books each year. The kids love them and I don’t tire of reading them-over ten years now.

    Daniel, may you be happy in all your endeavors but most happy in yourself. Thank you for your stories.

    Happy Birthday Daniel. I hoped to eat 71 Borgel Nuskies in your honor, but they’re proving difficult to find.

    Mr. Daniel Pinkwater! Hail and bless you on this day that you joined the race. The world, and the life of the mind would not be the same without you! Happy birthday!!!!

    Happy Birthday, Daniel.
    Thank you for the amazing ways you make quality literature fun and appealing to children and adults. I first met you through Moose, and I wish you a wonderful gingerbread birthday cake!

    Sandy Brehl, educator

    My wife Robin and I wish Mr. Pinkwater a happy birthday and many good things in the year to come.

    We recently had a little Borgel party in honor of our favorite time tourist, with whole wheat fig bars and homemade ginger beer. No popsicles though.

    All the best,

    I grew up with the work of Daniel Pinkwater. A copy of Lizard Music (1976) somehow or other appeared in our house when I was quite young– I say appeared because I don’t remember buying it, I don’t remember being given it, and no one else remembers anything about it either– and ever since then every so often I go on a Pinkwater reread in which I dive through whatever selection of his sixty to eighty books for children and young adults I can get my hands on.
