Thanks so much, Marta!! Lovely to be on this list with you and Vivian!

Thank you, Teresa!

This one is so go-ey he definitely needs his own book!

Just gave The Little House as a baby gift! That, Green Eyes by A. Birnbaum and Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown were picture books I pored over again and again. #KidLitChat

How I longed for both!! So funny you did too!!

Yes! All the horse & dog books! All the Marguerite Henry books; Sea Star: Orphan of Chincoteague was a fave. #kidlitchat

I longed for a horse because of Pippi and a dog because of Henry Huggins!

I memorized the poetry, so lines come back to me all the time. I love when that happens. #kidlitchat

I loved poetry and biographies (so yes, the same genre I write in now!). #kidlitchat

Thanks very much, Lynn--and I compliment you on your pitch-perfect books!

Thanks so much for hosting me, Lynn! It gave me a chance to think about how small changes make a huge difference! And I so appreciate your beautiful review of our book--Susan Reagan's illustrations convey so much emotion!

And be sure to enter the #giveaway for Woody's Words by commenting on Beth Anderson's excellent blog!

Thanks for sharing, Teresa!! I hope educators try this activity for Woody's Words: Woodrow Wilson Rawls and Where the Red Fern Grows with their students!
