Hi Lisa,
I'm honored that DINOSAILORS is on your list. The dinobooks have been quite a journey (really -- I didn't mean to pun).
Thank you for all your work with foster kids. As an adoptive parent, I appreciate your knowledge and heartfelt efforts. Keep up the good work -- all of it!
And Lisa, we have more than these things in common -- visit me at www.deblund.com. and you'll see what I mean.
Dinohugs,
Deb Lund
Lisa,
I'm from Tea Cozy & wanted to respond to your comment about parents being offended by Kid Tea. It's just such a cute story, that I have to ask, what offended them? Kids getting dirty?

Deb,
How wonderful to meet you! I am so happy to have discovered a kindred spirit and a new friend!
Liz,
I, and many other children's librarians, adore Kid Tea as well...
The parents who were troubled by the story were taking it too literally (e.g. yellow water in the tub - tea - what might have made it yellow - the idea of drinking it).
Sigh... You really can't please everyone. Think of how controversial some of the most fabulous children's books/authors are (e.g. Katherine Paterson, Roald Dahl, etc.)
Other great ones are "How I became a pirate" and "Pirates don't change diapers" but Long and illustrated by David Shannon. I just did them for a 1st grade class and also a 2nd grade class and they thought they were hilarious.
