Congratulations Mary! You deserve the award. You book is fantastic and your blog is so timely. I always look forward to your new posts. Keep up the good work.

You deserve it! What a great book. We used it the other day in my preschool class. While walking back to school from the bus we found a ring-necked snake on the driveway. When we got back to the classroom we pulled out your book guessing that you would have something to say about ring-neck snakes. The kids love learning that they lay eggs and that they are nocturnal.
