Happy #funnybookfriday :)! Today's IG shares are silly, toddler look-and-finds from the Gregory Goose is on the Loose series by Hilary Robinson and Mandy Stanley. So fun!

(And that is Ethel in the middle with a new raincoat I crocheted from a free pattern from Snappy Tots.)

If you want to write a cumulative story, add THE QUIET FOREST by @COffsay and @AbiCushman to your list of mentor texts. It's excellent.

It is also perfect for #funnybookfriday on IG. 💕

Happy #funnybookfriday 😁!

THE THREE CANADIAN PIGS (Watkinson/Cutler) is a fractured fairy tale with hockey & Canadian references sprinkled throughout.

It is creative and funny. If you have a little hockey player/fan, this story is a must. 🏒

Sending good vibes on Hedgehog Day for my story out on sub. 🙌

Pitch-
February 2nd is Groundhog Day and Hedgehog Day, but everyone celebrates the groundhog. Well, everyone except a couple of DISGRUNTLED HEDGEHOGS who are plotting a rodent revolution.

Today's #funnybookfriday highlight is SNOWFLAKES ON OUR TONGUES by Mike Ornstein & Pauline Gregory. Written in sing-song rhyme and full of farm animals with their tongues sticking out, it is hilarious.

I recently released my picks for Funniest PBs in 2023:
