Read-Aloud Now a Regular Thing

Sorry for the long absence. We were lucky enough to have some family visit us all the way from the USA, so I was away and traveling with them for a few weeks. But I am back and have post after post worth of cool and marvelous things to share. However, most of you are out on summer break right now, so a lot of the posting will start up again in September when school begins and teachers and students can check back in for another year of the wild and weird in Madagascar.

Don't fret. I will still share a few things, but just not as often. And Every few weeks I will post a new read-a-loud book for teachers to use and kids to enjoy. This installment of Curl Up with Kibo (our newly adopted puppy) features my favorite author and illustrator, Mo Willems. The man's a genius. I dare you to look into Piggie's eyes and not laugh or cry along.

P.S. A special hello and hugs and kisses to my nieces and nephew who are all being tucked into bed tonight with their uncle reading them a story even though their uncle is 9000 miles away. I wish it were much much closer.
