I wish I had a picture of a new forthcoming book to show you but it is not to be found yet. As a girl growing up in the 70's the Arnold Lobel books were my staple beginning reading books- how could I resist Tear Tea from Owl and the hilarious bumps in his bed, Mouse Soup, Grasshopper in the Road, and of course Frog and Toad!

I was so excited to hear yesterday that a new Arnold Lobel book is coming out in May. His daughter who is also an artist, discovered several of her father's handmade books and together with Harper Collins publishers put together some the best poems and pictures to create Frogs and Toads All Sang-
Described as "silly sweetness" this is one that will make my spring! In the essence of silly sweetness- here is a picture of a couple of fellas I work with that I talked into being Frog and Toad for me a last year at the bookstore where I work- how cute is that!
