Post No. 1!

I echo what Sarah says - explaining the difference between middle grade and chapter books is so helpful. Lety is new to me and I've already requested it to read to B. We, too, love Toys Go Out per your recommendation and it's wonderful to find a book to read to kids that makes an adult laugh out loud, too. I particularly like Tuk-Tuk.

Yay girl. Thanks for all the advice on this... also, Tuk-Tuk is so reassuring. Wish I could talk to my towels😂

Congrats on your first installment, Katie! And wow, so helpful -- the distinctions between chapter and middle grade books are sometimes subtle, but you broke it down really well.

We're big fans of the Toys Go Out series in my house. I can't think of characters whose voices I've enjoyed embodying more than those of Stingray, Buffalo, and Plastic -- they're unbelievably lovable and funny. (I am also partial to Frank the washing machine.)

Looking forward to more where this came from!

Thanks Sarah! Besides Lumphy, I think Frank might be my favorite character! ;)
