I've just started reviewing kids books and writing about the play they inspire in me and my kids, including another Cynthia Rylant book (http://www.kuvik.net/ztoft/playingbythebook/2009/09/06/home-is-where-the-heart-is/). Best of luck with the voting. Zoe Hello,

I do think that it's one that will (should) win awards, but not one that kids will especially get in to. How can it compare with Big Bad Wolves? (At least in our house.) But it's good for a quiet moment, and perhaps, as the kids get older, they'll learn to appreciate it more.

And I'm so glad to have discovered Cynthia Rylant. Thanks. It's like looking at Blueberries for Sal, in a fresh, clean way. I can't wait to discover what each page looks and feels like.

One of the best purchases I ever made. Sandy - Isn't she so prolific? Karey - He could be. My husband's father married into a Chinese family. So that one line certainly doesn't look like the rest of the family. Amy – The best time to buy a hammock is at the end of summer which we did. One of the best purchases I ever made.

I still can't tell no matter how long I stare at your husband's face. What else? Thinking your very high-in-the-air couch bouncing kids would like to make their own glowing name star, print it up and color it in. It might give you time to fix dinner. :) The name star thing is on http://www.SecretSpeakers.com. Great blog, Natasha! By the way, Natasha Maw is so fun to say outloud.

She has such a sweet demeanor in her writing. I'd probably buy this just for me, never mind the kids! She wrote one, don't remember the name, about losing a pet, that made me cry for weeks.

Yesterday was nice, but of course it didn't last. A hammock sounds nice. The kids would never let me relax in one though. I read Snow by Rylant, and I liked it a lot. I loved the illustrations the most. I want it to warm up too. Yesterday was nice, but of course it didn’t last. A hammock sounds nice. The kids would never let me relax in one though.
