I memorized a few lines because I loved the rhythm so much I never wanted to forget it. I will definitely check out Creech's cat book!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133568317365346510.post-75965435850106681142012-07-18T09:55:25.673-07:002012-07-18T09:55:25.673-07:00squeee!

Tuck Everlasting is one of my all time favorite books and think it is about time I re-read it. I'd recommend you read some of Karen Hesse's books too, Out of the Dust, if you haven't already and May B is another one. Talk about the power of story of a few words.

Haven't read her dog and cat books yet, but I really should.<br /><br />The Natalie Babbitt book has been on our shelves at the bookstore tempting me since it pubbed, but I haven't read it yet. Glad to hear you liked it. I'm a big fan of TUCK EVERLASTING too.<br /><br />Nice comparison to fine chocolates. Yes, good books are just as delightful.Joanne R.

I haven't read Love that Dog or Hate that Cat- but I will check them out. I love poetry!<br /><br />The Moon Over High Street sounds fantastic.

I've shied away from Sharon Creech too, because I thought I wouldn't like a novel written in verse. But I've read a couple of novels written like poetry lately, and I've enjoyed them. So I'll definitely check these out!!Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.com
