Annabel is a big fan of the Don't Let the Pigeon series by whatshisname who did Knuffle Bunny, and I approve her budding literary taste.
Mo Willems. One of my favorite children's authors. He is teh awesome.
Leonardo the Terrible Monster
is a favorite.
Mo Willems
He lives in my neighborhood!
I can't wait until D is old enough for Knuffle Bunny and I can take him to see where all the background pictures were taken.
Knuffle Bunny
I just read this as "Kerfuffle Bunny" and had all kinds of amusing mental images. I think the KB would look like the rabbit in Holy Grail.

I'm mildly peeved at Mo's literary success because I preferred his animation work.
The Pigeon Wants a Puppy
is his newest and it is LOVE.
Knuffle Bunny
I just read this as "Kerfuffle Bunny" and had all kinds of amusing mental images.
It's like "Plot Bunny" melded with "Kerfuffle".
"Kerfuffle Bunny." For when you absolutely, positively have an inspired need to start a fight on the Internet.
I love David Wiesner. His books are all about the illustrations, and my favorite is Tuesday. (How can anyone not love frogs flying on their lilypads?)
The Pigeon Wants a Puppy is his newest and it is LOVE.
I'll have to get it soon. Especially because I think The Annabel wants a puppy. We regularly drive by a cat adoption center and often admire the kitties while waiting at the red light, but AB knows her daddy is severely allergic and therefore we're not getting a cat.
Saturday they had a poster on their door with a picture of a dog and a cat. AB noted it and said, "DOGGIES don't make Daddy sneeze." And she was all for getting him a puppy for Father's Day.
Mo Willems is a favorite at our house, too. Li'l Sphere's into the Elephant and Piggie books, now, which are fun because they're quick and comic book-y. He also loves Knuffle Bunny, Too.
Also, I agree that the digressions in Moby-Dick are essential to the story, which is all I'll say on the subject.
Oh we love Kuffle Bunny.
Jessica - tell me a little about Glasshouse?
