And I had the same thought about Can't Sleep Without Sheep :) The search function is still here where it always was... at the very bottom where you have to search for it :) Maybe I should move it... And I'd be interested in the word count too... I bet it's longer than some, but it doesn't feel that long because it's broken up into letters...Susanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-24774016403112666742013-10-15T23:41:48.743-04:002013-10-15T23:41:48.743-04:00I finally got to read this!

As all the crayons quit or complained, it made me think of the sheep in Can't Sleep Without Sheep ... so I had to come back and read your review. (Did you lose the search function on your blog? I may be overlooking it.) It's also one of the first "longer" books that Enzo has enoyed. I'll have to look up the word count for kicks!Stacy S.

What one person loves, another doesn't so much. It's why there's room for so many different books, and why you should never take it too much to heart when one of your stories is passed on by an editor - not every book works for every reader :) Thanks for your PPBF support!!! :) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SettingsSusanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-51260119084306337792013-09-20T17:45:37.814-04:002013-09-20T17:45:37.814-04:00So happy to be back.

Can't wait to see all the picture book offerings from your participants.<br /><br />I read The Day the Crayons Quit over the summer and can see why you chose it for review. So inventive!<br /><br />As for the list, I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say, we'll be happy to help in any way we can. Just let us know.<br /><br />Would it be helpful if you presented us with a list of themes? That would make it quicker for you and more unified as a resource. I try to look at your list of themes when I post, but maybe a teacher who sees this could make up a useful list of common themes for you??!!<br /><br />Thanks for your dedication to this amazing site.<br />Welcome back!Joanne Robertshttp://bookish-ambition.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-10222857522352256292013-09-20T17:16:51.681-04:002013-09-20T17:16:51.681-04:00Glad Robyn won Erik's book, just because we ha...Glad Robyn won Erik's book, just because we have the same last name.
