Children's Book of the Week!

With Maurice Sendaks so recent passing; I felt it only necessary to honor him this week,

Although he did not write this cute book, his illustrations are unmistakable and so familiar to most people who grew up reading 'Where the Wild Things are' and 'In the Night Kitchen'.

With our frequent visits into New York City lately this book is doubly applicable for us.

Any book about a young boys freedom will surely find its way into our story pile.

One of my quests is always to find books that will stir up a conversation with Van, whether it be about an animal he has never seen, a place he has never been or a journey he'd love to embark it is fun for me to hear what he thinks about after reading a story. The excitement he has when seeing places he's been in a storybook is the best.

Happy Reading!
