I appreciate the repetitive language from the Waddell/Frith book. And the lovely pictures.<br /><br />Thanks for this idea, Leslie.<br />It reminds me of Lin Oliver's comment that if you aspire to publishing a great picture book, read 1,000 of them (or something to that effect.)<br /><br />jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-62629634661844898542014-04-21T20:27:03.806-04:002014-04-21T20:27:03.806-04:00Sort of like a book review, only more in-depth.
