Opal and I read some Maira Kalman, about Max, the dog poet, and she wrote this poem

I saw Miss Cat
Walking on Miss Catshair
Walking on Mr. Cat's feet
And I'll bet you who you're betted in
Little bed of twine

(Yes, there are three people here, Miss Cat, Miss Catshair, and Mr. Cat. I was taking dictation, and I checked.)

Read to and by Opal recently: I read a chapter and a half of Searching for Dragons, the Tashi picture book, and the first Max book. She read Space Dog, a pirate book, a graphic novel version of Gulliver's Travels, and a Time Warp Trio book. The disembodied voices finished Ramona and Her Father, and started Ramona and Her Mother and Deep Wizardry.
