Does the author know that there is a special level of Hell for people who write children's book that are "lessonful"?<BR/><BR/>"A poem with a unique viewpoint of a slug." It’s not just the ordinary point of view of slugs and snails but “unique!” and in verse! <BR/><BR/>A good editor however could most likely descramble Big Brother Egg into "How Big Brother Egg Broke Out of His Shell and Got His Groove On", then you could sell the rights for a musical. <BR/><BR/>I’m feeling something sad for the illustrators right now. I can hear the tears of woe falling like acid rain across a drawing of a baby otter wearing panties on its head. "I went to Art Center for this?" sob....<BR/><BR/>Thank God none of these books are scratch and sniff.<BR/><BR/>More please,<BR/><BR/>Marilyn.<BR/><BR/><BR/>PS I went totally woogie over the Pottercast… now if I can just get those drums out of my head.Thetoymakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405265800595978197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-1152812076903852982006-07-13T13:34:00.000-04:002006-07-13T13:34:00.000-04:00I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
