Thank you for the recommendation. I like Morstad's illustrations a lot so I will look for it!

That is wonderful! Thanks for sharing that with me.

PS I wanted to share with you something from my boys' school I thought you might be interested in - the teachers have set up what they call a 'reading tent' in the school playground. It's just a normal camping-style tent with some cushions inside, and every day 4 kids are chosen to have their turn in the 'reading tent' at recess and lunchtime. I couldn't work out why my boys were so excited about it - I mean they can read any time they like at school in the playground or the library etc (not to mention we have a tent permanently set up in our back yard with books/games etc). But my older boy was beside himself with excitement when it was his turn in the reading tent and went off to school armed with 5 books just so he didn't run out of things to read. After school he said he and his 3 friends spent all recess and lunchtime reading in the tent and it was 'fantastic' - I think from talking to him that what made it so exciting was that it was a special place that only they were allowed to go into and they could tell everyone else to keep out, I guess there aren't many places at a busy school where kids can have their own territory - even if just for a day. I thought it was a fun way of encouraging some extra reading and showed that it doesn't take much to get kids enthusiastic about hanging out with their friends and some good books!
