Something about the writing that just draws you in completely! I think this is on that every class will love--funny that so many of us are all reading it aloud right now!Frankihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186802649034970935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-81284043384546475262008-04-12T11:41:00.000-04:002008-04-12T11:41:00.000-04:00This is a fabulous review, Karen.

As a children's author, it's a real treat for me to hear firsthand stories about what the children think about the book. I love knowing their thoughts about the cover and their predictions about the characters.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this lovely treat!<BR/>BarbaraBarbara O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772206568826059623noreply@blogger.com
