Readingbubbaandbeau Well, we have a new favorite series (all of …three books, I think) and an author whose works will call us when we head to the library next time: Bubba and Beau are just very amusing, floppy, expressive cute friends from Texas. And I need to find out more about Kathi Appelt.

Sister, it was down the road again.

(Illustrated, I could tell without even looking at the name, by the artist who did Cynthia Rylant’s wonderful Mr. Putter and Tabby series – Arthur Howard. Joseph said, "The baby looks just like Mr. Putter!"

And no, checking out forty books from the library is not excessive when you read 10 or so a day. Thank you very much. We just made it through the weekend.
