To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post to the Master Linky AT HOME WITH BOOKS. (See link below.)

Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

Thanks to Alyce from At Home with Books for hosting this wonderful Saturday Snapshot meme.

Winner of Dr. Seuss 108th Birthday Giveaway!! (And a poem.)

By Zara D. Garcia-Alvarez

Hey, Cats-in-their-Hats!

Did you have the rhyme in you?

Do you love Foo-Foo-the-Snoo?

Do you like fish and like fish blue?

Did you join this contest with a big HALLA-BABOO?!?

Foo-Foo-the-Snoo from Dr. Seuss' ABC Book

NO?

Whaddia mean, no?

Were you stuck in the snow?

Did your flowers not grow?

Were your pants on too low?

YES?

Let me guess, let me guess!

You couldn’t bother

with another

silly, little

contest!

"I should have entered this contest...DANG!"

***

Uh-oh, now, you’re sad…

you wish that you had,

but a book in your nook,

but a winner, it took!

Why didn’t you play?

And come by this way?

Put your name in the pot,

Punch your card in the slot…

But, now, it’s too late.

You waited your wait.

The contest is closed.

And the story, it goes…

One winner, one winner!

One winner takes all!

Who’s the winner?

Is it you? Is it her?

Is it him at the mall?

Mmm…

Hooray! Hooray!

The winner is…

MEGAN CONWAY!

She’s the big fish.

She got her big wish.

She wanted to be

A “Kuhli Loach”

She had the highest points

And she needed no coach.

A Kuhli Loach

She had a great answer.

And so should have you.

If only you played,

Silly Foo-Foo-the-Snoo!
