  1. Loved the trailer for Hooray for Hat–very sweet!

    And the Secret Agent Man book looks hilarious!

    Thanks, Jama & Brian. It’s like infinity–a hot-tea, and a hot-tea, and a hot-tea & so on….

  3. Oh, my word SECRET AGENT MAN! Clearly, even agents have get regular stuff done. What a cute little guy. I love this artist’s style. The HOW TO TELL A STORY thing is AMAZING, though; how I wish I’d had this when I was teaching 4th-5th grade language arts!!!

    I am completely gaga over the meta of the hat and the mug repeating into hotTea infinity.

    1. I love those story blocks too :). Brian’s mug shot is the best, isn’t it? And I agree that the secret agent man is adorable — isn’t that what you call your agent?
