One of my New Year's Resolutions is to tackle new hands on activities to keep my brain sharp. The two recycled books will be perfect mental challenges for cold rainy days. I think the one that's like a homemade clipboard is particularly cool, and useful. I loved reading the back stories for Louis Sachar and Jon Scieszka. I have always wanted to try to write a children's book. Maybe it's the teacher in me. My love to all. Keep writing FTT. I really look forward to each and every issue.

I love hands-on activities! I want to get more into drawing again. And you should definitely write a children's book--I think teachers write the best ones and I really love that Scieszka read the kids Kafka *and* Frog and Toad (and George & Martha).

I love that Schiezka made those read aloud choices, too!

Thank you for your faith in me. By any chance have you been talking to one of my very favorite people on the planet, and I am sure one of yours, also? I can't believe I told her about my dream, but maybe we can make it a reality. We will have fun no matter what, and know the illustrations will be fantastic at the very least.
