I can't believe it's almost 3 o'clock! I can't believe Spring Break is over! I can't believe I have so many great books to write about and so little time! That said... a few things...

I love Little Bear's journey to the moon. We would love to have this for our library!
ReplyDeleteall three of my children love Little Bear! My nine year old is the biggest fan! As she was cleaning up her bookshelf over her spring break, she actually noticed that she has no Little Bear books! She was dumbfounded to find out that all the Little Bear books she had enjoyed when she was younger had always been checked out from the library!!
ReplyDeleteShe was consoled by re-reading (for the umpteenth time) Midnight Farm by Carly Simon!
Keep up the great work!
that looks like a super cute book!

Hi! I stumbled across your blog while googling my brains out, and I wonder if you can help me!
ReplyDeleteMy baby has this board book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bear-Ball-Cliff-Wright/dp/1840115556/, and the illustrations remind me strongly of something from my childhood (in the 1980s). Cliff Wright's first book came out in 1989 so I'm pretty sure it wasn't something else by him. I'm certain the book had brown bears in it, in the style of the bears in the above book. I know this is a long shot! But does it look familiar to you?
