Beth – truly, if this is an example of the type of book published by Sylvan Dell, I want them all!

Ladytink – I saw the pic you posted with a phython hanging around your neck … and skinks freak you out?!?!

Janet – what a fun connection! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a skink (except for your Little Skink). I’ll keep an eye out the next time we’re in Florida.

Amber – My kids like to chime in with their opinions. After all, they’re the audience, I’m just the conduit (reader) for the author’s words.

That does sound like a cute book. Thanks for including the responses of your children. When my nephews are a teeny bit older I think they will like this one.

Thanks so much for reviewing Little Skink’s Tail. It makes me so happy that your children all liked it so much. Your 10-year-old with the pet anole and the illustrator would have a lot to talk about. She lives in Florida, where skinks are more common, and right after she got the assignment for the book, she found a skink with a blue tail in her garage! She figured it must be fate that she draw the pictures for this book!

I have to confess, my first reaction was “ICK!” and then “What exactly is a skink?” But I bet my 4-year-old would really like it!

Lol. Skinks kind of freak me out. My mom’s dog likes to chase them and if he can catch them, eat them.
