My grand-girls and I have this wonderful new book, and look and look at the drawings of awesome animals, and counting too. It’s just perfect for young children!

I knew of Elisha, but never read an article about him before. Thanks for the info! I’m mesmerised by the barista in the background. 😉

Yes, that’s some barista — perhaps he/she serves up a special brew just for creative people. In Elisha’s case, it’s REALLY working . . . 😀

☺ The barista looks completely nonplussed.
I am a big sucker for counting books, and so enjoyed seeing the behind-the-scenes of this!

Elisha’s lucky he managed to get something to drink with a barista like that!
His book looks like a great gift.

That’s probably the only barista in NYC wearing politically correct fur. 🙂 8 is the perfect gift!
