The illustrations were what first caught my eye in What’s the Trouble in the Forest of Kerfubble, written and illustrated by a married couple named Roger and Jennifer Sulham who have been together for 22 years. But after reading it, the words are equally engaging. I just wish my niece or nephew were still of age to enjoy a book like this because I would love to give it to them as a gift.
I’m a huge animal lover and have reviewed animal books here before, so I couldn’t resist taking a look at Through the Eyes of Snowball by April Terhaar. It’s another great book told from the point-of-view of the animal itself, in this case, Snowball the Maltese puppy.
I always enjoy reviewing children’s books as the holidays approach. Books were such a part of my growing up, I don’t remember ever having been without them. Although it has been argued that my mom taught me to read in self-defense, I don’t ever remember learning how to read, I just did.

Poems are useless
Though some people read them

Or pseudo-intellectual

When words
Are formatted
Like

June 8, 2009 was when I wrapped up my POD Diary here on LLBR, an online account of my journey into formatting, publishing, marketing, and selling my 2nd book, Stealing Wishes pretty much from the start to the end of the first year of the book being in print.
Last month, we discussed page numbers (or footers). This month we’re moving to the top of the page and talking about page headers.
