Ann Marie M. Sayer worked closely with the late author (Esphyr Slobodkina) for the story. I remembered reading the original book so I was delighted to see this new one. It's just as funny as the original book and is beautifully illustrated! Following the story, there's an explanatory text of how "More Caps" was developed.<br /><br />I read a non-fiction book titled "Thames: the Biography" by Peter Ackroyd not long ago. The "Wind in the Willows" was among the examples of how the Thames River influenced British authors in their writings.Elisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-10407187067709993912016-03-09T15:53:53.603-06:002016-03-09T15:53:53.603-06:00we need to get to the library more...hmmm.... firs...we need to get to the library more...hmmm.... first chapter book...our first long one was Little House in the Big Woods- but I don't know if your all-boy house would love it enough- when they are older- maybe Narnia?

We've read several of the Strega Nona books, a couple of the Christmas ones, and I recently got the St. Patrick book. My boys love those. We go to the library about once a month and I try to get a variety of books, including some classics. Right now we have Frog and Toad from the library. <3 I love that book too!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430536729673110616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-27877771942996915342016-03-09T13:52:14.645-06:002016-03-09T13:52:14.645-06:00I love posts like this!!

We go to the library at least once a month and have checked out both Caps for Sale and Millions of Cats in the past. The boys loved both of them. We also own a copy of Ferdinand. I love that sweet bull and was shocked that my husband had never heard of the story before. I may move into fairy tales soon since I have several books and there aren't many pictures for them to look at, sort of thinking that may work for a step towards a chapter book. We shall see!!
