Did you catch that look he made before the camera broke for commercial???

I'm hearing more-n-more about less-n-less reading for enjoyment. The push in public schools to excel on testing is real. :( It's getting harder and harder for educators to fight for quality independent reading time in our classrooms--despite all the evidence supporting it. #teachingwoes #kidlitchat

I'm chatting a lot w/older readers again (Hosting our school's book/writing clubs) and hearing more "apathetic" reading-related tales than before. There definitely is a lull in #MG -- the books and kids and those who love them both--need big hugs! (And more impowering/uplifting stories!) #kidlitchat

Browsing #kidlitchat posts helps me discover #kidlit people interested in interacting/engaging rather than just broadcasting.

Also fun to see what events people are excited about, like #skypitch tomorrow (see @skypitch.bsky.social) & mthly #KidLitArt chat this Thu (see @kidlitart.bsky.social).

I agree & love this, @bevtwomey.bsky.social It's about being present and being there for one another, but also knowing that as part of this "community" we can be absent and pick up the next time without feeling we've missed something or are left out, etc. A solid friendship, indeed! #kidlitchat

@bevtwomey.bsky.social Congratulations on your new book release! I pre-ordered a copy and it arrived today... I have it scheduled "up next"-- maybe my next COZY read? LOL! #kidlitchat

And dusting for prints....HA! I lost count how many times we tried to "pick up" the prints from a sidewalk. #kidlitchat

Oh YES!!! When I met Brian Jacques for the first time, I think I wanted to cry. I truly love all those books and just talking about them tonight makes me want to toss my current book aside and reread a few. #kidlitchat

He is the BEST in that book! I didn't think the movie was bad, per se, but I wish it could have been MORE... ;) #kidlitchat

LOVE!!! that book! (Actually both of these.) I would love to teach with Mrs. Frisby again. (I retire in a few years; I probably should before I regret not teaching/reading it with students.) #kidlitchat

Growing up in the 70s/80s I pretended to be characters from the books I read often. I remember going around with a friend, following the steps we thought Nancy Drew would take, to solve a local break in at the Catholic church nearby my friend's house. LOL! #kidlitchat
