    I've said it before: Educators are superheroes. Some even have costumes! These pictures absolutely made my day. Wishing very happy reading to these students. 🐕🧡🦍

    Today we dressed up as Ivan and Bob and drove around town to hand deliver The One and Only Bob books to our fourth grade students. The look on their faces when they answered the door was priceless!
