I noticed that you’ve been posting the schedule of upcoming events a few times each month and I wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I always get caught off guard and miss out of events I want to participate in. But with all these reminders I’m much better prepared – thanks!

We checked out several Mo Willems after your review and fell in love with Knuffle Bunny (and the sequel). My girls have special lovies and could totally relate to those stories!

(Just something I noticed, because I’m geeky and I write the other carnivals on my calendar – I think the dates are off in the list above … May 18 and 25 are Mondays, not Tuesdays).

Dawn–

I agree that Mo Willems isn’t going anywhere! We are going to the library today, so I think that I’ll check and see what’s available.

The only one we own is The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! which cracks both of my children up all the time.

Great idea for a meme!

Funny, but when I think of classics in terms of childrens’ picture books, I tend to think more along the lines of Robert McCloskey and Stephen Kellog. I love Rainbow Fish and The Very Hungry Caterpillar too, but I still think of them as “future classics” — LOL!
