If you haven't checked out
TeacherShare lately, now would be a good time. If you type "lesson plan" into the search box above "resources" on the left, you'll find a treasure trove of picture book related lesson plans.

One of my favorite publishing folks, Karen Walsh at HMH, clued me into this fun online resource. The Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Anastasia Suen is putting her poetry powers to great use, showcasing a poem a day, from K-12 students. Keep an eye on

Everybody Eats Noodles is just the tip of the iceberg.
By now you're probably rubbing your growling tummy and asking yourself how I could have forgotten to mention
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? Well don't despair! If your "appetite for adventure" is in full swing, you're going to want to check out the movie trailer over on
Sony's site. (My favorite is the ratbirds.)
Now that I'm ready for Prince Spaghetti Day, I'll bid you all a super weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday. Oh, and send me a note people! Let me know what interests you in the Kid Lit World.
