    My four year old niece says almost the exact blurb you posted with I'm a Shark, only her's begins with "I'm a big girl"... I will head out to B & N over the break to purchase that book!

    How clever to use a haiku as a review tool. Picture books are some of my favorites since people love them no matter how old you are. I look forward to checking these out.

    Hooray for Amanda & Her Alligator sounds like an exciting book. My students at school enjoy reading books about alligators along with sharks. Thanks for recommending these.

    13 Nights of Halloween reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas just by looking at the cover.

    I really enjoy the titles of books you recommend to read. Should keep us busy in trying to keep up with all these great books. It's nice to read these books and know what is out there to purchase for our students and children of our own.
