I recently read Russell and Lillian Hoban's heartbreakingly gorgeous classic 'The Mouse and His Child' and loved it. I won't be reading it to my little boys until they are old enough to handle it though! The illustrations in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas look divine.

When I was...I'm so glad you featured this book! When I was pregnant, my husband and I pondered names. I suggested Emmet, not thinking of this story...just thinking of names I liked. The only Emmet my husband could think of was Emmet Otter. So it's kind of a joke to us that we named our son after Emmet Otter. Such a wonderful book! Although more often than not I'm asked if we named him after the Emmett in Twilight (go figure).Jen (Pink) Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006902732637129671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-22845731074096238082009-12-02T11:03:58.808-06:002009-12-02T11:03:58.808-06:00First. there is the book by the gifted Hobans and ...First. there is the book by the gifted Hobans and then Jim Henson's DVD of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, which we have watched over and over.
