It's been about a month since I read it, and there are definitely stories that really stick out to me. I like how you can put it down and come back to it and not miss anything. The collection aspect is quite appealing. Also, the illustrations just blew me away. :)Ricki Ginsberg at Unleashing Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086548238873957327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-1596205262029569182019-03-18T14:19:09.782-04:002019-03-18T14:19:09.782-04:00I cannot believe y'all hit 75 degrees on Frida...I cannot believe y'all hit 75 degrees on Friday! WOW!! While it's warmer this week than last week, we'll have piles of snow around us for a long time. It's mostly turned to ice after some melting and re-freezing, but it's so high that it may be summer before it's completely melted. And speaking of summer... I love that you're helping us plan for a new Big Book Summer Challenge. I'll have to take note of these books.
