Yes, it’s the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, here in most of the USA, and you know what THAT means!
Yes, it’s time for THIS ‘toon!
I crack me up!
There are more ‘toons to come, but first…Last week the world of children’s literature lost one of it’s greatest practitioners, Norton Juster.
If you don’t recognize the name, run, don’t walk to your favorite bookstore, and buy your very own copy of The Phantom Tollbooth. TPT is one of those books. Published in 1961, I read it for the first time a few years after that. For years afterward, I could remember little snippets, but could never quite remember the title, or when I had read it, but the magic of this book never quite let go. When I found it again, it was as if I had been shown the entrance to a magical place, not unlike tasing through the tollbooth itself.
There are so many great books being written for children and teens right now. But I re-read The Phantom Tollbooth every year or so, because it never fails to reveal something new, that I really need to know. I hope you already love this book, but if you don’t know it, what are you waiting for?
And now, more pandas! (Expect the Panda Kindergarten!)

Two of my extra special favorites: Turning back the clocks and why swearing is a good thing. No….wait….!! and “If I was a Panda….panda, panda, panda…. I do not eat hikers in the woods, I don’t think a panda should..” (oh great…now I’ll be singing this the rest of the day!! LOL”
Bwahaha! My evil plan to have everyone singing the panda song is working!!!!
I posted the swearing one just for you (okay, and for me too)
