The Christmas Thingy! - matthewsmommy - 10-27-2005
I'm so excited! I had forgotten to re-subscribe to the newsletter after my email addy changed, so I just found the link to preorder The Christmas Thingy!
WooHoo! I can't wait! Now I can start Matthew out as an FPW fan early! BTW, FPW, we happen to be almost obsessive in collecting children's books, especially when we find a new, favorite author.......If this is as good as I'm expecting it to be, Thingy MUST have new adventures soon!
Chop, chop! His current favorites are his "How to draw monsters" book and his monster coloring book. This is awesome

My favorite one, as a kid was "There's a Monster at the End of This Book". It was Sesame Street, and Grover was the main character. My other favorite was "Green Eggs and Ham". I liked the long strings of rhymes. (But I don't like rap. That's odd.)

Another good one is "Where the Wild Things Are."

My mother is a huge Patricia Cornwell fan and had me track down 2 of her hard-to-find books a couple of years ago. One was a cookbook and the other was a Children's book but I don't remember the name of it. I did find her both of them.

I love children's books and I'm beyond excited to get this one. Which kinda sucks because it won't be here til December...........And it's so appropriate right now. Matthew loves monsters and we only have 4 story books about them. Man, I can't wait!

Remembered it! "Life's Little Fable" by Patricia Cornwell. Here's the link:

It's not a monster but it does look unusual.

Well that's cool! "There's a Monster at the End of this Book" was my favorite also. I've read it to each of my daughters as they've grown up. There is at least one sequel (a poor retread that inserts Elmo with Grover).
Later,
