Did you read lots of Mo Williams to library patrons?? My students loved it when I featured Mo and played the hot dog game via his website. I keep seeing Maria V. Snyder's name on other blogs as well. I will have to look for her series at the library. It is great to see all your May reads-you've been busy!

Haha, yeah, I did a Mo Willems author study with kindergarten for the last few weeks of school. I wanted to use the games on the website too, but these classes were just too squirrely for me. And I am now such a fan of Maria V. Snyder - I'll be slowly working through all of her books. :)
