  1. Another good one, Laura. I didn’t guess it, either.
    I want to let you know that I found that book you recommended — When Riddles Come Rumbling.
    Thank you for telling me about that one. It’s a great little book.

    • Thanks, Pat–Oh, I’m glad you found it. Rebecca is such a wonderful poet.
