Thank you so much for the gift of your book. It gave me one of the nicest
\nexperiences I’ve ever enjoyed. Today, I had the priviledge of reading your
\nbook to Matthew’s 1st grade class. They LOVED hearing it almost as much as
\nI LOVED reading it. Matthew even read the king’s part. Most of the
\nchildren sat in a semicircle on the floor around the “reader’s rocking
\nchair”. You should have seen how big their eyes were. They were completely
\nin thrall.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, Matthew and I shared the “dragon baked bread” that we made last
\nweekend for this purpose. We all had a ball, and the teacher was THRILLED.<\/p>\n

Your beautiful book has arrived!\u00c2\u00a0I’m so happy to have it! What a delightful story – a wonderful contribution – I’ve been wanting to write to you & tell you how it felt to read it – specially I noticed the comfort of the rhyme,\u00c2\u00a0the massage it gives the ears … just as the rhythm is setting a steady groove, there is that abbreviation or elongation and the ahhhh there in the inner hearing, the throat actually seems to feel it as well, lots of different places actually — \u00c2\u00a0where do we most feel the rhythm of sounded words? the counting -\u00c2\u00a0 the feet? the fingers? all of it… the walking and skipping and the cartwheel here or there or the stopping all together, the space where there is nothing, that silence – yes? that pause – those amazing “spices” in a line of prose – those subtle pinches of this or that –<\/p>\n
