About Travis Jonker
Thank you so much for “Because, I love you, but these g.d. sweaters aren’t going to knit themselves.” *snort-laugh*
Ha! I laughed when I wrote it, so I’m glad you laughed when you read it.
Did you get one of those tiny sweaters as swag when you received a review copy? I did. I don’t much care for swag usually, but I LOVE THE TINY SWEATER.
I did not get a tiny sweater, but that does sound like some high level swag
Jealous of the tiny sweaters!! I read this at story time last week and the adults almost rolled in the floor!!! Love it.

I concur. The tiny sweater I got was exquisite.
