So many great things going on. Congrats to Elizabeth! YAY!!! That is very exciting.<br /><br />And, being farmers, MOWING is right up our alley. Or up our dirt road, may work better. Either way, sounds like a fun book.

I have no idea what to pick for next week!!!

I'm sorry to be putting PPBF on pause for the summer, but I'm afraid if I don't it will get WAY out of hand... and perhaps a little break will refresh us all so that when September 7 rolls around we'll all be filled with new enthusiasm. The challenge for all of us now is to try to figure out a way to get the word out to more people who can make use of it. Everyone whorl so hard to make this a valuable and useful resource - I'd love for it to really be used!

A lot of them are probably from us checking to see what books are there before we post, but certainly not all of them! The challenge now will be to get the word out more to people who can make use of it - parents, teachers, home schoolers. We will all have to put on our thinking caps :) I wonder how many hits all of you guys get on your PPBF posts? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Tiltonph (unregistered) wrote, in response to Penny Klostermann (unregistered): <br /><br />Yes, thank you Susanna for coming up with the PPB idea. I have been reviewing a lot of books for over a year, and it gave me an opportunity to share some of them with a larger audience. And, I made new friends! Can't get better. Now, if we can find a way for parent groups to know of what we've done. Can you tell by you site stats if people are looking at PPB? <br /><br />Link to commentSusanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-61438841628714954142012-06-09T10:34:13.821-04:002012-06-09T10:34:13.821-04:00Good morning!

I grew up on a dairy farm that my brother still has in WI and I, too, love the smell of freshly-cut alfalfa! <br /><br />I wanted to join the other bloggers in sending gratitude your way for the amazing gift that is PPBF. Librarians LOVE you, Counselors LOVE you, Teachers LOVE you, Parents and Guardians LOVE you . . . that list you've compiled is indeed incredible.

We want to make the books easily useful for parents and teachers, and encourage people to include picture books in their classrooms and daily routines. We are going on hiatus for the summer, but there's an extensive list on the Perfect Picture Book tab at the top of my blog which should give you lots of great books and resources, and we will be back to the weekly link-up on September 7 if you'd care to join us!
