Children's Author Visits Xavier

The girls and I were lucky to see a children's author that visited Xavier today.  B.J. Schwartz and his Alaskan Malamute, Max, were a joy to listen to and watch.  Both girls really enjoyed hearing a couple of his stories, and petting Max too!  He has a series of books called "The Adventures of Max & I".  He has six books out right now geared toward kids 3-9.  All the preschoolers through third grade enjoyed his time at school today.  All of his stories rhyme....which Kelly particularly loves.  We bought Molly the first book in the series and Kelly the second book....and the author (and Max) autographed their books!  Both girls also got a picture of Max!  He is a 125 pound dog that is only 15 months old.  He is supposed to grow more yet and add around 30-50 more pounds.  This is B.J.'s second Max.....as his first dog Max passed away last year.
