    I am now currently following your blog and LOVE it! I just researched this new book and would be delighted to use it in my classroom! My students are always putting together instances and coming up with reasons as to why. This would be a perfect real world and FUN way of showing them new examples :)

    kids + play = interesting new connections
    One thing I know about my kindergarten kids is that they will come up with something funny that will make me laugh on a daily basis. It is one of the things that keeps me teaching young kids.

    I am one of your followers of your blog too.
    I teach a full day kindergarten in a large city called Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
    We are also fans of Amy's books- I have a few of her other books- Little Pea, little Hoot, Spoon and The Cookie book.
    I am sure her new one will be a hit.
