gotta love Kate DiCamillo (http://www.katedicamillo.com/)!

It's on our list! We wanted to get it done before the movie came out, but I don't think I'm going to make it. We can't wait for the movie!!

Oh my gosh! I didn't know they were coming out with a movie! Too cool! That was one of my kids' favorites when I was teaching.

I LOVED it!! I can't wait until my kids are a little older so I can read it to them. I got that and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Toulane for my 6-year-old sister last Christmas, and she loved them.
