\nI’ve got a tiny peek today inside Kaori Takahashi’s Knock! Knock!<\/em>, published by Tara Books this month and with text from Gita Wolf. Tiny, as in just two little illustrations, but if you want more information, you can head over to my BookPage<\/em> review of the book. As you’ll read there, this is a story that quite literally unfolds (clear some space when you read it) to tell the story of a young girl in search of her toy bear. <\/p>\n

That review is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

2)<\/strong><\/font> I talked about Wild Things!<\/a><\/strong><\/em> yesterday at the Southern Kentucky Book Fest<\/a><\/strong>, and I got to see friends and make some new ones. <\/p>\n

3)<\/strong><\/font> Making progress on some research. Slow but steady. <\/p>\n

4)<\/strong><\/font> Hearing good news for friends. <\/p>\n

5)<\/strong><\/font> Reading this<\/a><\/strong> about a musician you very rarely see, who made, back in 1988, an album I love. <\/p>\n

6)<\/strong><\/font> Doctor Who<\/em> news<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

7)<\/strong><\/font> I am wearing out this CD<\/a><\/strong>. Such good songwriting. (And the harmonies are exquisite.)<\/p>\n
