I love funny, crowd-pleasing read aloud #picturebooks with adorable, compelling characters, strong plots, and fun surprise endings that are funny, sweet or better yet both. Puns are okay, if they feel different from other puns, if that makes sense. Most of all, I want to laugh... 1/?

Love this OK Book Award winnerβs clever spin and spunky heroine!
Mary is not so contrary when she hatches a plan to renovate an abandoned lot with help from her nursery rhyme friends.

Years ago, a bunch of authors read bad reviews that people had posted about their books on Amazon.
This was one of mineβ¦.
(And, yes, this was created during my infinity scarf days.)
We had such a QUACKENSTASTIC time at @justincolonbooks.bsky.social βs school visit in Oklahoma. Thanks for letting @tammisauer.bsky.social and me tag along! #kidlit #booksky
