Bark, George

I occasionally find myself reading children's books to large gatherings of toddlers, moms and nannies. Life is odd, no?

A Stone Sat Still

Author	Brendan Wenzel

I like old clothes, / Hand-me-down clothes, / Worn outgrown clothes, / Not-my-own clothes. . . . Originally published by Knopf in 1976 (with illustrations by Jacqueline Chwast), this poem—an exuberant celebration of hand-me-down clothes—is just as relevant and accessible today as it was over...

Give Me Back My Book!: (Funny Books for Kids, Silly Picture Books, Children's Books about Friendship)

Author	Ethan Long
ISBN	1452160406
