I'll try again later to read what you've linked to -- right now it's telling me there's a problem connecting to that website (sigh).
I've pre-ordered my copy of the Poetry Anthology AND the audiobook... now roll on October 1 !!! (Keying in "October 1" made me think that I should order a second copy of the book as a birthday present for my cousin (who likes the links I send her from your blog -- she's an educator and children's writer -- and she'll be celebrating her 47th birthday on October 1 !)
I'll check back tomorrow and see if the link is working...
Well -- the BEA website finally worked. The shout-out was short and sweet, but definitely GOOD. "Wow, just wow" does it for me. As does "The family gift book of the year". Well done, both of you!
(Just in passing -- it must be discouraging for you to think "Oh, I've got a comment on my blog -- oh, it's just SCB again..." Sorry.)
Fantastic interview at Reading Rockets, Emma! (Saw the link on Twitter). Now I'm hoping the post I put on my blogs will lead more people to the interview, and to realizing the importance of raising bookworms! Here's a link to my post, if you're interested...
