I tried emailing you but for some reason it keeps getting bounced back? If you don't mind, you can try emailing me at lauraDOTamosATgmailDOTcom.

He brings a healthy and exciting rigor to the study of kidlit. <BR/><BR/>For a further tasting, check out his CHILDREN'S LITERATURE article, "Dada Knows Best: Growing Up Surreal with Dr. Suess."Candace Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09025197609231243397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864465433536056765.post-85123190592379079932009-02-24T14:36:00.000-05:002009-02-24T14:36:00.000-05:00Hi Laura,<BR/><BR/>Love your blog! My name is Linda and I’m in the marketing department at Simon &amp; Schuster children’s books. <BR/><BR/>I’d like to send you an advanced copy of a book I believe you’d enjoy—a book called Dessert First by Hallie Durand, featuring an irrepressible little girl aptly named Dessert. <BR/><BR/>If you&#39;re interested, feel free to contact me with your mailing address at rosalinda.camachoATsimonandschusterDOTnet. <BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>LindaRosalindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13852326061457321928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864465433536056765.post-27353544650878590572009-01-12T14:47:00.000-05:002009-01-12T14:47:00.000-05:00I was on the VC Andrews kick years ago. After about 3 or 4 books, I could pretty much predict the ending but being a hard head, kept reading. I finally stopped, thank goodness. Good luck with the challenge!Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506241311996978559noreply@blogger.com
