Because of the special nature of the program, we are planning to have a cake with several of Mr. McPhail's characters on top. Deborah Ann's, a bakery in Bedford, Massachusetts needs written permission for the one time use of the character Pig Pig taken from the book <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pig Pig Gets a Job</span> (Dutton Children's Bks., 1990) by David McPhail. I would appreciate it if you could write a letter of permission and Fax it to the Library's Fax machine (#508-371-6244) or mail it so that I can give the bakery the O.K. along with the design for the cake.<br />Thank you very much.<br />Sincerely yours,<br />Karen Ahearn, Children's Services<br />Concord Free Public Library<br />129 Main Street<br />Concord, Massachusetts 01742<br />Telephone (508) 371-6258<br />Fax (508) 371-6244 Children's Art Illustration
