Those books look wonderful -- but not nearly as fabulous as your little beekeepers! Adorable! Great post, Eric -- just love how you always find the perfect activity to go with the book. :)

Joyce Carol Thomas was new for us also. My daughter enjoyed her books of poetry and my son loved The Three Witches!

I am thinking that it will be too small, but we could give it a try!

Frog& Toad is one of our favorites, and your frog and toad pictures are awesome! We've only spotted little frogs around our house. Not quite as exciting as the giants you have pictured here.

Happy Day Candace! Thanks for a terrific post Eric...

I can't imagine how many typos and errors are in my posts - and I proofread over and over! No worries Pam!

Toad really wasn't a touch feely fellow, but at least I got a hug. My days working at the zoo really helped my comfort level with handling wildlife - snakes surprisingly were the easy to handle!

You superhero you! Thanks for saving Frog & Toad, Eric. I love those books. And I had a backyard toad for years-- came nose to nose with him/her when weeding one day. S/he lived within the walls of our yard for years & may still be there.

Now that was fate, how fun! My first stories were about frogs and toads after reading Frog and Toad stories. I love how you live these posts as well as write them. Great stuff!

Delightful! You are amazing, Eric! Not sure if I would have had the nerve to pick up toad or even to run and try to take a picture of a snake...yikes! What an adventurous day it was for storybook characters and your family. I know I had loads of fun reading about you fun day. This story is looks like a job for one of Renee's poetry videos.
