When I told my class I had a new book by Mo Willems, they almost turned themselves inside out. After I finished reading it, M came over, took it out of my hands, and hugged it.
Isn't Mo Willems the BEST!! I teach 5th grade and we LOVE him, too. We are NEVER to old to give his books a hug. I plan to share your SOL with my 11 year olds! They can connect.
The Elephant & Piggie books are all new to me this year! This one was "I'm Invited to a Party!" We are so love with all the books. I'm trying to collect them for my class as fast as I can! :0)
There is absolutely nothing better in the whole entire world than sharing a great book with kids. What a privilege we have, to get to do this job! P.S. I accidentally went to your other quote website first, and loved the most recent quote about responding to kids! My prayer for today! Thank you!

DeleteI, too, hug Mo Willems books ... and I have to ask! What new Mo Willems book? Waiting is Not Easy? (A new fave!) Or something else?
