I really miss Big Pumpkin! It's been a favorite of every child I've ever read it to (and that's a lot of kids in all the preschools I've done!) ... I've lost my cassette tape (the only reason I still have a cassette player is for this book!) and my books are so old... Please do another print of the book with musical reading... maybe in cd or digital format though this time! Please!! :)

Hi, Adrianne, I wish I could do this. Scholastic Book Clubs/Scholastic Audio published a CD some years ago for their school catalog, but only for a limited time. If enough people contact them and request it, maybe they would reissue it. I get this request frequently, but I have no control over these publishing decisions. Thank you for contacting me!

ms. SIlverman, I'm sitting listening to my daughter reads "spring babies" for the 50th time! She is 21, has autism and an intellectual disability, and though she reads on a 3rd grade level, her comprehension is much lower. She loves your books, and frankly since I have to hear them over and over, I appreciate the humor, Kate's young leadership and strategic planning and Cocoa's sweet stubbornness.(And like all good childhood heroines, she -- and my Rosie -- both have red hair. I'm going to get some of your other books from the library, we are Jewish too and can't wait to read Raisel's Riddle,

Hi, Rosie and Rosie's mom,
I'm sorry it took me so long to see your post and respond. I love knowing that Rosie loves my Cowgirl Kate books and that you haven't tired of reading them with her yet. I hope you enjoy Raisel's Riddle, too! Thank you so much for writing!

What 2 fabulous personal appearances for your launch - you and a Cocoa stand-in! Clever bookseller! (Do you do birthday parties?)

Congratulations on the creative book launch. I guess when they asked what you wanted you really did tell them a pony. And yes, Once Upon A Time is a fantastic bookstore.

I thought I could launch a collection of horse quotes for Cocoa. I'm not gonna start with the 'gift horse' everybody knows that but what about this:
"It is not enough to learn how to ride; you must learn how to fall" (and of course that's German. We are famous for our optimistic outlook on life)

Congratulations on the new launch! Love your guest, Cocoa, the horse. You really know how to put on a spectacle!

Thanks, Dolores. Once Upon a Time was such a great place for the launch. Maureen roped in the horse!

My daughter Fiona loves the Cowgirl Kate series and it has taught her to read! I'm always laughing out loud at Cocoa's comments!

Thanks, Heidi! Getting a child to read and a parent to laugh is double happiness for me!

My son Logan (age 4 1/2) and I love to read the Cowgirl Kate books together, they are his absolute favorite books. We have all six! Just wondering if there are plans to release #7? :) Thanks so much! Kristi.

Hi, Kristi,
Thanks for writing! I'm so glad you and Logan enjoy my books. Unfortunately, for now, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has no plans to continue the series, but I hope to find a new home for them some day.
