On the Stairs by Julie Larios

Illustrated by Mary Hofstrand Cornish

"On the Stairs" is a cute children's book that you'll have fun reading to your children! It's a poem about two little mice, the stairs in their house, and how they have given each stair its own name. Some of the names and connections are pretty imaginative, and some might fit in with the stairs in your house!

The drawings in this book are carefree and fun. There are no harsh colors, and they each reflect that pages section of the poem with fun style. They really bring the story to life - although the poetry is clear enough that the pictures aren't really needed to bring it to life! 

Writing ADD #14

Last week was pretty slim pickings writing-wise. I wrote about the best laid plans...which we all know often go awry! Despite the being ill and other insanity during my week I did manage to get two book reports and a total of 685 words written though :) And I spent time thinking about writing, which can be almost as an important of a step as actually writing! Right? Ah well - this week seems to be starting out better so I'm hoping for more writing to be accomplished this week! After all - the words are practically bursting to be let out.
