your appreciation for others before you,
your memories, and

Oh, no. This is just another blogger’s idea as he completes his two years as the nation’s first children’s literature ambassador. The new one is to be announced tomorrow.

Monica, I loved your round-up of subversive “fishy” books. And the story of Fred the book-dog sounds like it could be turned into a picture book itself, which would be appropriately subversive.

I’m so glad to hear I’m not dead. Thanks Monica. And I will continue to provide as much “fishiness” as possible as Ambassador Emeritus.
