Ha Ha! Did that worry you? Pallllease…. I’m not going anywhere for a while. (I hope!!) See You Later, Alligator is a children’s book written by Sally Hopgood and Illustrated by Emma Levey. What a cute story this one is!! Imagine a cute little tortoise and the largest Zoo you’ve ever been in. The adorable little tortoise is heading out to explore the world! He has his camera, sleeping bag, knapsack packed and he is ready for an adventure! However, he can’t possibly leave without saying goodbye to his friends. Each. AND. Every. Single. One!! This reminded me of trying to get my kids to say their prayers at night. When we would get to the and… God Bless, Mommy. God Bless, Daddy.

(However, the Kindergarten kid is picking up this reading thing pretty darn quickly!) Every single night Alice gets a bedtime story or 4. This kid would rather hear a story than watch TV. How amazing is that!?  That’s Not The Monster We Ordered is super cute!! The Turner Family just got a monster!! It’s the talk of the town! This monster is so amazing! Everyone on the street is super jealous!! (As I was reading this book to Alice I was thinking ‘this must have been how my Grandparents felt when the lady upstairs bought the first TV in the apartment building’)The entire neighborhood gathers to see the new Monster. The monster, named Slinky does…
