After this top 100 list from USA Today was brought to my attention by a friend and fellow writer, we complained together about its glaring omissions. It's not a bad list but it's missing so many obviously wonderful children's books I suspect it's sponsored by a certain publisher or bookseller.

That's about all I have to say. I could make some joke about a continuous loop but I never actually saw that movie. Mostly, I want to share with you this awesome picture. I think I want a pet groundhog now. Oh, and does anybody else find it weird that an animal that doesn't live… Continue reading Happy Groundhog Day!
