📚 CRANBERRY THANKSGIVING -Wende and Harry Devlin
☕️☕️☕️ 3.0 #KristiCocoas Timely! You've either grown up with this book read every Thanksgiving or you've never heard of it! A bit wordy (to my own taste & family situation), but I liked the story and the message. Some good little gem moments and a good discussion about kindness. #kidlit #recommended

Did you know that Theodor “Ted” Seuss Geisel had a vanity plate that said "GRINCH"? I think that is one of the most wonderful things in the world. Dr. Seuss is one of the most prolific and recognizable children's picture book authors. And boy does he deserve it! He broke the rules and created worlds and inspired all walks of life. What better way to celebrate the day than to read with your little today! Find your favorite Dr. Seuss book and pull it out for your kiddos. Bonus activity! Give me your best Seussesque ending for the prompt pictured above! #readacrossamericaday #seuss #challenge |
