Can't find my copy to check, but I think Enright also drew THIMBLE SUMMER'S illustrations (both her parents were also artists, I believe). Did you know she was a niece of Frank Lloyd Wright? His work is hinted at in SPIDERWEB FOR TWO (one of her books about Melendy family) when adopted adventurous great-grandmother builds very modern house in countryside which looks like part of landscape. I recommend Enright's books to adults too, especially two about GONE-AWAY LAKE (which has multigenerational characters--a feature in maybe all her books). First GONE-AWAY book was another Newbery Honor, reminder that runners-up may be wonderful reading too!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780536397059743865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045172818169562594.post-74462355706755448162012-05-26T21:09:37.934-05:002012-05-26T21:09:37.934-05:00Great video, guys!

I remember thinking this was hysterically funny as a kid, but I was a weird kid. I never stole a dog, though. Not like some people. ;)Ame Dyckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393759167937500382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045172818169562594.post-38896548965685426502012-05-26T11:03:31.540-05:002012-05-26T11:03:31.540-05:00Ohmygosh!
