I shared Otoshi's PBs in my Children's Lit class and they were a huge hit--turned up on several students' Top 10 lists at the end of the semester. Really simple concepts and executions to convey big important ideas. I loved Dumbest Idea Ever--a really fun and engaging GN. I have developed a wee bit of an obsession with Princess and Pony--the illustrations seriously crack me up. The pony's eyes! And girth! And those sweaters!Elisabeth Ellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747914394861199796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-39989917538211041402015-08-31T21:34:37.293-04:002015-08-31T21:34:37.293-04:00I've been hearing so many great things about E...I've been hearing so many great things about Enchanted Air.
