Weekend time! We made it through the week. Honestly, there were a few moments that I had my doubts- a certain fourth grader's lost homework assignment yet again, a three year old's art project that involved an entire roll of toilet paper unraveled on the floor, a possibly burned to a crisp Wednesday night dinner. But we made it just the same.
I just heard that one of the picture books featured here on Booktomato will be coming out with a second story! Mother Bruce by Ryan Higgins is a hoot (see our review here) and will be coming out with Bruce the bear's second story, Hotel Bruce, very soon. Look for it in stores!
