Thanks again Ted! Dear Paul, Thank you very much for your kind words about my artwork for "Day of Ahmed's Secret." I was deeply touched by hearing your son Thomas read the words. He reads beautifully. If you haven't already done it, I hope it's okay with you if I forward your email to the author, Judy Heide Gilliland so she can hear her words come alive in your son's voice. It's a wonderful thing you're doing. Best, Ted I emailed Ted Lewin to thank him for his wonderful illustrations, here was his reply. Thanks again Ted!

]]> Comment on Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia by Kidsomnia » Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia http://www.kidsomnia.com/archives/53#comment-20 Kidsomnia » Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia Sat, 15 Apr 2006 04:56:29 +0000 http://www.kidsomnia.com/archives/53#comment-20 [...] We’re rediscovering Amelia Bedelia. As you’ll remember, we’ve read her books twice before and I wasn’t a huge fan. Well, opinions change and I’m starting to enjoy them more, partly because Thomas has made enough progress that he now gets many of the puns and jokes. It’s a lot more fun reading a book that I know Thomas is enjoying. In this one Amelia covers for an absent doctor with dangerous consequences. [...] [...] We’re rediscovering Amelia Bedelia.

He’s turned into a big fan and is converting the rest of us too. As usual Amelia is getting more things wrong than right but she gives the boys and I good opportunities to learn about idioms. In this book she works around the house and makes a mess of almost everything. BTW, did you know Amelia first appeared in print 40 years ago? Compared to other books, she’s aging well! [...] [...] Thomas is on an Amelia Bedelia kick. He’s turned into a big fan and is converting the rest of us too.

Like its predecessor the boys and I enjoyed this story. Minnie and Moo are funny and the story gave me an opportunity to recount an (abbreviated) version Mary Shelley’s classic horror story. The boys dig monsters. [...] [...] Another cool Cazet book. Like its predecessor the boys and I enjoyed this story.

It’s a long recording and I dropped the mic at least once during the session as I nodded off. [...] [...] Oh boy, this reading rivals Teach Us, Amelia Bedelia in terms of its sleep inducing powers.
