Four weeks ago I was lucky to meet David Shannon at Tree Top Kids in Washington, DC, as he toured the country promoting his latest book, Too Many Toys. To hear a book read – the way it is intended to be read – is always a treat. The bonus of an author event is getting a glimpse at the personality behind the books – after reading No, David! and meeting David Shannon, I can see where the inspiration for the main character came from!

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake: Laura Numeroff

If You Give a Cat a Cupcake

by Laura Numeroff (Author), Felicia Bond (Illustrator)

Reading level: Ages 3 – 7

Hardcover: 32 pages

Publisher: Laura Geringer (September 30, 2008)

Who can resist a cupcake — especially one with sprinkles?
