Fuzzy Tongues

A while back, my mom gave us a book called "That's Not My Puppy." It's about a little mouse looking for her puppy, but each dog she encounters either has a tail that's too fluffy, or ears that are too shaggy, etc. Linguist mom appreciates the adjective instruction, and Baby enjoys patting the aforementioned shaggy ears.

In a book store the other day, I noticed another book in the series: "That's Not My Dragon." Now THAT is a book we needed in our family library. As you can see, Joy was as eager to devour it as I was.

The book was both fun and educational. For example, I was aware that dragons could have scaly wings and knobby claws, but who knew they could have fuzzy tongues? The things you learn from children's literature.
