Little Buzzy and the Giant Pumpkin” by Arthur Mayers and Illustrated by Tom Block

Buzzy1_10Veteran art teacher, Tom Block from Wiscasset High School has just published a children’s book called “Little Buzzy and the Giant Pumpkin”. He kindly donated a copy for the conference raffle. Below you can read a review of the book.

“Little Buzzy and the Giant Pumpkin” is a children’s’ story written by retired news reporter Arthur Mayers and illustrated by Wiscasset H.S. art teacher Thomas Block. The story is based on real life character Buzzy Pinkham and how as a little boy he dreamed up the Damariscotta Pumpkin Fest.
The books are available at Maine Coast Bookstore in Damaiscotta for $15.00 or you can order direct from the Illustrator by e-mailing tblock@svrsu.org. Tom is available to visit schools for readings and share about illustrating a book.

It is a wonderful little story about a season that so many children love! The illustrations are delightful.
