I just Skyped with 1st and 3rd graders at Verne W. Critz Elementary in New York state. We read TIME OUT FOR MONSTERS! and I shared with them some picture book secrets. But the highlight came when they each showed me their "Window Into Our Imaginations" and read me their stories about their windows, based on the book. It turned out, we all had at least one thing in common - CUPCAKES!
