I Want to Go Home

Hello!  I am a fourth grade teacher, and every year, my first read-aloud is I Want to Go Home.  I tell the students that I read it because it was MY favorite book when I was in fourth grade!  It still holds up- they always love it (although these days I have to explain what a walkman is!).

So this year, as we were doing our author studies, I used you as my example.  As we were searching your website we came across the readers forum, and my kids thought it would be fun to send a message just in case you reply.  I have been a fan for 40 years and I continue to introduce your books to kids.  Thanks for all you do to inspire young readers!
