I apologize for a quick drop off without thanking you for being the host of Poetry Friday. NCTE 18 was a week of learning-networking-being immersed in literacy. - Rosemary Wells' book looks like it would be a great addition to Sierra's library. I am still not unpacked totally because I am in the midst of baking for Thanksgiving. Have a great Turkey Day with your family.

My favorite was Read to Your Bunny. I bought two copies and took them apart so I could laminate the entire book for bulletin boards.

Some of our favorite bedtime stories are the classics--Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (one of our first visits to an art museum was to see a special exhibit highlighting Sendak's art) and Goodnight, Moon by Margaret Wise Brown.
