Oh my...you have posted a treasure trove! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Thanks for this. I have some exploring to do.
ReplyDeleteHow many people are named Marilyn Singer? Every time I turn around, I hear about a book by Ms. Singer. How could one person do so much?
ReplyDeleteI love the cover for The Cuckoo's Haiku. This list is impressive. Thanks for sharing it.
Great list! I've been using Betsy Franco's concrete cats with elementary schoolers. It's a huge hit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this, Elaine! After the panel, I ordered a few of these that we didn't have. Delight! Thank you, too, for all you do on this committee! A.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that Monsterologist book. Thank you for the whole list.
ReplyDeleteThanks you so much for including my books. It means a lot to me. I'm always hoping my poems are touching someone or making them laugh.
ReplyDeleteGreat work from you and the team, Elaine. Let me know if you ever get tired of this job...
ReplyDeleteI missed several on the list. Thanks for posting these :).
