We had such a great time talking to @KateMessner yesterday about all things insects and gardens! Did you figure out the final insect in our guessing game?

I've seen March Madness brackets for books...but never one made up entirely of my own titles! Sherwood Elementary set up a Battle of the Books w/ my chapter books & novels for older kids and one with picture books for younger readers. Such a great idea for an author visit!
