"Mrs. Reed! Mrs. Reed! I read Love That Dog Five Times in a Row. I loved it that much!"

Yup.

There's nothing like a fourth grade student busting into your library with those words.  They are about the sweetest words a Teacher Librarian can hear during the school day.

As soon as he started to tell me why he had to read Love That Dog by Sharon Creech five times in a row, I quickly uploaded an image of the book into Voicethread and sent that student out into the recording studio, aka: hallway. Cool beans.
