And like you... where to start???<br /><br />I don't know your 'Popcorn' book - but I can't help but wonder if you have a popcorn fetish yourself.<br /><br />I did recently read 'City Dog, Country Frog' and found it beautiful but very sad.

I had to comment because as soon as I started reading, I thought, "I would pick 'Go, Dog, Go!'", because I picked it every time we went to the library when I was a little kid. Then you mentioned it!<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Also, your kids are adorable. I love the curly red hair!
