“After closing the circle time, nobody wants to leave from a circle rag and they ask me to read more. That happens every day! They love your stories, Ms. Laurie! Especially one boy (Zorel) was obsessed by Color Cloud Clock and he drew clocks all over the classroom and now he can tell the time! Little Christopher loves "man in the moon" and he requests me every day saying, "Man! Man!" Your stories definitely enrich our students' literary experience! Thank you!”
