I think Children's Book Week would be nice if it were a little earlier. Being in the crazy final weeks of school makes it hard to do something else. But I'll share with our librarian, too, who may have some plans, Jill. Thanks for so many links! Your new book looks very fun-lots to 'moo' about! Congratulations!
Thanks, Linda! Yes, May is a tough time to squeeze in one. more. thing. Hope it serves as a launch for summer reading fun.
Congrats on your newest book, Jill!
What a perfect week for your book to debut. :)
Your fan Esther
Thanks, Esther!
We are making the most of it being the last full week of school and celebrating with a Character Day. Students will rotate through games with book themes. Should be fun!
Sure sounds like fun, Margaret! And a great way to introduce kids to characters they'll want to know better.
Thanks for the "clippings" Jill. And your new book looks like such fun. What great covers! Congratulations!
Thanks, Marti. When I interview Gus, I'll ask about the differences in covers. :)
