Chicken Spaghetti's Fourth Anniversary
May 12, 2009
Yep, that's right. It's been four fine years of blogging about my adventures with children's books and reading—and chickens.
To celebrate the occasion and the new season, I've chosen a passage from Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad Are Friends.
"Toad, Toad, wake up. It is May now."
"What?" said Toad.
"Can it be May so soon?"
"Yes, said Frog.
"Look at your calendar."
Toad looked at the calendar.
The May page was on top.
Why, it is May!" said Toad
as he climbed out of bed.
Then he and Frog
ran outside
to see how the world
was looking in the spring.
Happy May, and happy reading, as always. Stay tuned tomorrow for a book giveaway.
Perfect choice. I think I'll go around saying, "Why, it IS May" today.
Happy FOUR YEARS! Wow.
