DOGS VS HUMANS A Showdown of the Senses by Stephanie Gibeault, is about a fun contest between dogs and humans, comparing and exploring each of the 5 senses. In this nonfiction book, children will also learn about dog behavior.
A story asked to be read again and again by ages 6-9.

I'm so sad this kind-hearted man is no longer with us, but I'm glad his family got one more Christmas with him. I'm also relieved Biden's administration will be handling things, so Carter will get the respect he deserves rather than whatever self-serving mess the next group would bumble through.

One of my favorite reads to my children. Have to search for it and read Harry to my grandchildren. Thanks for reminding me.

This following post appeared on the Jama's Alphabet Soup blog November 15th, about Janet Wong's and Sylvia Vardell's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz. A unique poetry anthology that's fun, kooky, and educational.
