Today is a pretty exciting day in my "writerly life." I am the guest blogger at the Nerdy Book Club! The hardest part of writing the "retro review" was deciding WHICH BOOK to write about! So, I queried my daughter who QUICKLY suggested that Pooh was the one!
As I was writing this review of Winnie the Pooh, I really did notice that the challenging vocabulary of this "rigorous" text was probably very much in line with the CCSS and a very important way to stretch our children as readers and thinkers. I also was reminded of powerful memories of snuggling with my own children on my bed as we explored the magical world of Winnie and his friends.
However, when I saw my name in print, I felt JUST LIKE TIGGER! I could have bounced all the way to the Hundred Acre Woods!
