Welcome to the Guestbook!
I’m always eager to read your comments about my books and stories, so please feel free to pitch in. Here are a few things for you to know:
1) I answer the messages here personally.
2) No message shows up here until I actually answer it to prevent spam and other inappropriate postings. So there will sometimes be a delay before your message posts, especially if I am traveling.
3) Teachers, a gentle request: Please do not have multiple children send me variants of the same message. A group email is much easier to respond to and not such a drain on my time. My thanks in advance for being alert to this.

Hi Mr. Coville,
I am a fellow Phoenix Firebird living in Washington DC. I just read The Foolish Giant to my 2 year old son for the first time. Your name sounded so familiar to me that I looked up you bio and then remembered that you visited my class at Elm St. Elementary. How wonderful that your books live on through the next generation of readers. They are such delightful stories. I cannot wait to read him more. Must say my favorite part of your bio is when you wrote that your only regret was the time you spent watching TV. My kids (1 and 2 years) don't watch TV and it is starting to feel socially unacceptable. Love that line... Best wishes and thanks for the stories.

Hi, Jamie and Fellow Firebird! -
Sorry to take so long to respond. My email queue/the guestbook spun totally out of control this year.
I am so delighted to know that you shared The Foolish Giant (which was my very first book) with your son this year.
Yay for you for sparing your kids from TV! And I totally understand the "feel socially unacceptable" thing. Feh!
Keep on keeping on!
