Teachers' Night Before Halloween
Praise for LOVE THE BABY By Steven L. Layne"Steven Layne is one of our favorite teachers--and authors . . . Love the Baby is a clever take on sibling jealously when a new baby comes home."--Teaching K-8"Layne's take on the familiar theme is sweet and direct enough even for very young children to grasp . . . The pictures, which are filled edge to edge with energetic bunny figures in broad, swirling strokes and pencil cross-hatching, pair nicely with the straightforward text, giving it a zesty layer of humor."--Booklist"This story could well become a favorite for children who are grappling with accepting a new baby into the family."--School Library Journal"Layne cleverly revisits all those special somethings . . . Hoyt's  jealous bunny boy should get an Oscar; his righteous suffering comes across in a full range of grimaces, scowls, and pouts."--dadtalk.com"Especially comical text and illustration keep this book fresh."--PlanetEsme.com"An emotional spot-on choice for new big brothers and sisters."--Cynthia Leitich Smith, award-winning children's author and educator, cynthialeitichsmith.blogspot.comPraise for THE TEACHERS' NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS by Steven L.
