\nI think I mentioned here earlier that I’ve joined the Horn Book’s Calling Caldecott<\/a><\/strong><\/em> team. This week, Lolly, one of the Calling Caldecott<\/em> bloggers, wrote about Elisha Cooper’s<\/a><\/strong> Big Cat, Little Cat<\/em>, released in March. I’ve also written about this book this year, and I’ve even got some art from it here<\/a><\/strong>. But I’m using today’s kicks post (mostly, I admit, because I’ve had a busy weekend and am not quite prepared to write about the book I had originally planned on writing about today) to point you to Lolly’s smart thoughts on this wonderful book. That is here<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n
