The Day Snuffy Had the Sniffles

The Day Snuffy Had the Sniffles
By Linda Lee Maifair
Illustrated by Tom Brannon
1988
Hey, Kiddos! Cold season is upon us and The BOOG and I are NOT immune. This is our third day of sniffles so far and it is very taxing to say the least. On the upside, we are both in cuddle-mode, which is always nice. So while we break out the crayons and keep warm under our covers, I thought I would share a little Sesame Street Cheer.

Madeline has stolen our hearts for the past 75 years! 75 years of solid readership! Not bad for a picture book written in 1939.

Mommy? by Maurice Sendak


Mommy?

The theme prevalent in all of Sendak’s work is “how children survive their parents.” Mommy? Is no exception.

Connecting Children's Art Projects with Literature

Schoolarts Magazine
This morning I was inspired by an article in SchoolArts Magazine that connected children’s art projects with literature. No doubt it was its reference to Maurice Sendak that caught my eye.
