You know that while a work on the kidsite, I have never done storytime - that is with one exception. Years ago I filled in for the school librarian one day, and she left this for me to read 8 times that day. By the last group, my tongue was worn out from the tongue twisting text, and 1st graders were staring at me like they could not believe I was the person selected to read to them. BUT I still love this book! Wodney is a terrific.
