I’m glad you put the video in there because I was having a hard time imagining what you were talking about. How clever! (I wonder how many pens he goes through in a day????)

I thought for sure I’d see examples that you and your kids made! Sounds like a fun book!

This does sound interesting, and very different. I think I would like to try this book and see just what he does and how he does it. Thanks for the great review, Dawn. I will keep my eyes open for this book. It would probably be something my whole family would enjoy!!

I love that idea and that video. He is a very engaging and personable guy. Wish I knew him. I usually take a pencil and reedit the newspaper. Why not just black it out instead? Fun!

That is a great idea and I used to do that all the time looking for inspiration, though I didn’t block out the other words, just circled the ones I wanted. I’m putting this on my to-read list.
