3 days post-op our hyper McNab collie mix worked her cone off during the night and worried the stitches on her leg after a mast cell tumor removal. A carabiner now holds the cone to her harness. She's also on prednisone and thinks she's starving. We have at least 2 weeks of this. Please send treats.

Thank you so much, AJ!!!! ❤️🌷🦑🦐🐋🌊

It's a dark and gloomy night when 2 children visit a ghost town. Spooky, fun-filled artwork brings the story to life. Ghost Town in the Mountains is a hauntingly hilarious riff on the tune "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain.” #childrensbooks #picturebooks #booksky www.amazon.com/Ghost-Town-M...

Catnip for readers who love unbelievable but true stories. Some are hilarious. Some horrifying. Some mystifying. Can be read straight through (like I did) or dipped into a chapter at a time. Remind me never to sit on a sting ray... @boonewrites.bsky.social @randomhousekids.bsky.social

My gardening obsessed kid self would have adored this book. In THE CABBAGE SEED’S COLOSSAL SECRET, a girl plants a seed, grows an enormous cabbage, and shares it with hungry people in her community. Themes of kindness, sharing, and of course gardening! By Karen Greenwald. #picturebook

When I lived in Tucson, the desert transformed in the spring when the ocotillos, prickly pear, and saguaros bloomed. I miss the Sonoran desert. I didn't know that ocotillos are also found in Madagascar...what an amazing planet we inhabit! #kidlit
