Knuffle Bunny Too is also a good one. And if you ever need cheering, the Mo Willem's Fan Mail will make you smile. My favorite is "Don't Let the Pigeon Become a Lawyer."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Knuffle Bunny Too is also a good one.

This one is for tomorrow. We got about 8 books of his tonight at the library. I'm doing an author project on Mo Willems for my Children's Lit class.

not your mom's socks.

23 5 year olds. moral center minimized by my coffee being unsatisfactory this morning.

Knuffle Bunny rocks. Also? A weird little book called Rosie and the Rustlers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm also a big Mo Willems fan. Thanks to Kat, to whom I guess I owe a toaster.

Is that a Mo Willems book, Sox?

I am trying to get everyone on the Grump train.

oh! no - I'm totally off topic. Sorry! I was veering down the Favorite Unusual Kids Books sidetrack.

( [link] because it's written in quatrains, with awesome illustrations, and uses words like "consternation". A friend who was trying to stock Iris' library with female-leads-in-children's-books found it ... which is actually strange. )

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Knuffle Bunny lives in my neighborhood.

cilantro: what do you use it in, when cooking?

Anything vaguely Thai or Mexican, and in my chili.

Oh my god, Kat. That fan mail has tears streaming down my face.

The problem with teachers as parents is that they've already bought all the cool books for their kids.

Grump! You gave us that one too, Kat! And yeah, it's fabulous. I love how frazzled the mom looks.

Where is my husband? sigh. He's only an hour late, but I miss him.

Oh, and to continue the random, cilantro is yummy in salads and stir fries.
