Why "The Search for..."?

I got my title from the book The Search for Delicious by Natalie Babbitt. where there is a wonderful quote--

" 'Of course it's silly,' said the Prime Minister impatiently. 'But a lot of serious things start silly.'"

This particular quote stuck out for me as I was reading The Search for Delicious to my kids this past fall, and I put it aside knowing that I would use it somewhere, sometime. It seems like the perfect subtitle to this blog as many of my musing probably are silly, but may turn serious at any moment!

PB Mo Willems

Mo Willems has been a favorite since he first suggested that pigeons shouldn't drive buses.  (Who knew? ) He started publishing books for children when my daughter was 2, and she and I enjoyed many a giggle over the antics of that silly, silly pigeon!  The most recent book I have read by Willems is  Hooray for Amanda and her Alligator, six and a half stories about two surprising friends...and that's exactly what the story is about...two friends who are surprised by each other and their friendship on a regular basis.  Very cute...as usual!
