I have heard of one author who made is family wear t-shirts promoting his latest book.) Seriously, 3000 children’s books in the house says a lot.

I had the image of a couple of old boyfriends pop up when he said “my parents joke they can shop for me and my children in the same aisles.” Cracked me up!

I loved this book. I knew it would be a hit with my pre-k students as soon as I started reading it in the store!

I never knew it could have been so much trouble. Alternatively, I didn’t know that even rhyming was 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. As to 3000 books, wow, if I had them, I’d think I had died and was in heaven! A suggestion to Zenz, if I may – do enter that photo (or any other) – at the Paper Tigers blog’s ongoing Bookshelves around the world project. Its fun!

Thank you!

Only a hippopotamus will do” The song bring back memories of when I was little and my dad would sing that song to me. My dad would also read me stacks of books until I fell asleep, or as the case often was, he fell asleep. My little girl also got hiccups before she was born and almost daily for several months afterward. She sometimes still gets them. I am trying to share my love of books with her. Aaron’s suggestions on how to get children to love books are great.

I know everyone was very concerned. I can’t remember how he got rid of them, but I think maybe they just stopped on their own. I’ll have to ask him next time I see him.

My favourite time when my 3 children were little, was storytime.
They are all grown now, but hopefully someday soon, I will be able to read stories to my grandchildren. :o )

My memory of hippos: I remember the Hogle Zoo had a hibbo and it stunk to high heaven! What did I like the best about this interview? The photo of those picture books!!!
