    Story of a Cockroach is a GORGEOUS cover! :) I love that some of the best artwork I've seen has come from children's books.

    Ugh, I hate reading a book when you hate the characters! Oye! It really stinks if you HAVE to read it, then you begin to resent it.

    Sounds like you were busy this week fellow librarian! :)
