Our bookmarks have been printed so we'll get one of those in the mail for Esmaya too! I hope Esmay enjoys Little Wolf's Book of "Peoms". Our girls especially love the first and last poems and often laugh & recall the parents comment about using the poems to stop the draft at the den door even when the book is no where in sight. If Esmaya enjoys the poems she should definitely dig into the series starting with the first one: "Little Wolf's Book of Badness". Our girls just howled through these. Thanks again for listening. We'll give $1 to Raise-a-Reader for your comment. Andrea Chris,

Somehow I hadn't realized that there was a contest involved, but we got the book almost 2 weeks ago, and I wanted to say 'thank you'. Esmaya wanted to keep one of the business cards, but the other three went back to the library last week in books that you had reviewed, so maybe some other reader will take an interest and listen in. As for this book, Kate, it sounds like a really great read, and we'll be looking for it next time we go looking for books. Thanks again, Chris Guys,

What a great way to start a day, listening to your podcast about Nutcracker Noel. Jim and I loved doing that book. It’s basically a totally true story of our daughter’s experience dancing with the Joffrey Ballet Co’s Nutcracker many years ago. The prince DID split his pants, somebody threw up… I was taking notes, and the ballet teacher yelled at me once for doing it! It was really a thrill to hear you talk about what you liked in the story, especially the ending. Our editor told us that the book went out of print because the art was not “romantic” enough for a ballet story, but we love the art for that very reason -- such funny little kids with their real bodies and goofy expressions. Anyway, thank you for putting this book on your podcast. I just donated a dozen copies of NN to the families coming to the Sag Harbor Food Pantry, but we still have a few remaining copies -- if anyone needs a replacement, let us know. Have a wonderful holiday! All best, Kate wow! What a great way to start a day, listening to your podcast about Nutcracker Noel.
