Yeah!!! All but 10! That's super!
Apparently you and I are missing out by not having read Bark, George! I'm going to request it from my library in just a few minutes.
Thanks for participating and joining in on the fun! I knew I could count on you!!
i love bark george its funny!
I can't believe you haven't read Monster at the End of this Book yet! It's great, and you'll love it. The sequel isn't anywhere near as good.
For some reason I've never really liked the "Night Kitchen," I don't know why.
