Cool Book of the Week: 'Sparky!' by Jenny Offill and Chris Appelhans - I can't tell you how taken I was with this book when I saw it online. Love at first sight. The art, the art, the art, the art. A little girl orders a mail order sloth and discovers that he's more fun than his sloth-like nature would lead one to assume. I must see this in person. What a cool and unusual looking piece of awesome!
P.S. our puppy is cute. I SWEAR she'll be on the blog next week. :)

Sparky is very cute. We checked it out a few months ago. We love sloths, but this book proves they do not make good pets. ;) Cute smock! I love Cookie & Kate and that smoothie looks so good. I have a friend who just saw Matilda on Broadway last night, and I was so jealous! I clicked on the link to the bedding, and Mr. B walked by and made a noise. It's very eye-catching! How cute. My mom isn't coming this weekend. They all have the flu now. I'm wondering if we'll ever get our dog. I suppose I'll have to keep working on the house instead. Blah. Although after sitting on cat puke this morning - more laundry, yay! - I'm not feeling the whole pet thing right at this moment. Have a glorious weekend!
