Thanks for featuring another hotTEA! I just love that creative hot chocolate poem. It’s perfect to chant while preparing a hot cuppa of anything involving chocolate.

Big YAY! (also for the Donald mug) – the goddaughter is getting to the age where it’s good to know more bilingual picture book folk and their books. We will maybe “bate” some “chocolate” at Thanksgiving.
I’d love to be known as someone full of stories, too. That’s a nice way to be thought of by kids.
