Knuffle Bunny rocks. Also? A weird little book called Rosie and the Rustlers.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

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.

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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

HA. That is a problem. Grump is such a fun book to read. Apparently one night K woke me up to go get the baby and I said something about "pum pum pum on the rump" which is from that book. We read it way too often.

It's also a problem in my family, as we too often get ourselves the same books we'd like to give to the rest. I try to get books for them I don't have so if they DO have them, I get to keep them. Heh. They get to me eventually anyway!
Thanks for the fanmail link. Sent it to mom, who should get a kick (and an idea) out of it.
