Mrs. Sieplinga writes:  "I just wanted to share an exciting little tidbit from my classroom.  I posted on my blog about a book we had read in class called The Pout-Pout Fish, and the author of the book actually found the post and commented on it!  The kids were so excited when I shared the author's message with them, and they all wanted to write back to her - so we did.  It was neat to see!"

Here is the author's post:  "I ran across this blog post and I just wanted to take a moment to say how delightful it was to read about this lightbulb moment!  What a joy when kids dive so deeply into the books they're looking at.  I hope they continue to enjoy The Pout-Pout Fish books, and all the other books that will be a part of their young lives.

A book a day keeps the pout-pouts away!"

Best Fishes to you and all your students,
Debbie Diesen (author of The Pout-Pout Fish)
