A to Z: Zendik



When I began the A to Z Challenge a month ago there were 1900 people signed up for the task.  Now, a month later, I wonder how many of them made it through to the end?

Whether we completed the A to Z Challenge or not, we all crossed the line into the land of the Zendiks...magicians...where we created our magic to entertain a more than willing audience of readers old and new.  We may not know what the future will bring, but as long as we hold our writing wands high, we can handle anything!





Zagazoo
Written by: Quentin Blake
Illustrated by Quentin Blake
Ages: 3-8
ISBN: 10 0531301788
Teaser:  What would you do if you got a package in the mail one day and inside was a baby?  Would you keep it?  And what would you do when it decided to change into something different?  How would you tame the fearsome zagazoo?


***As I end this A to Z Challenge, I'm doing my happy dance and if you ever wondered what music I'm dancing to, try out this link... http://youtu.be/w8f3cLARhhI ***

      Lol...you are so right, Janet...you WILL see me here tomorrow! I told myself that I would post daily until my first year anniversary (Dec 6, 2012) and then I will see what type of blogging schedule I will set for myself. Who knows...maybe you guys will be bored reading my stuff by then...lol...;0)

      Well, thank you Erik! I had a lot of fun and I'll let you in on a little secret...I think I will continue to do the book "teasers". Maybe I will do a special Tuesday Teasers from now on...what do you think?

      Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!

      Hi Patricia! Congrats to you too! It wasn't as hard for me as others I imagine because I post daily anyway but keeping to a theme and concentrating on a certain letter of the alphabet per day was certainly challenging...;0)

      Thanks for stopping by and come back any time!
