Rather than use this time to wax poetic (which, trust me, you really don’t want to see), I’ll just mention the children’s literature blogs that inspired me to start my own back in 2007.

It looked like fun, and it is.

    Oh, I’m so glad I stopped here today, though a bit late. I no longer get notifications when someone has linked to me, so if they mention me and I don’t happen to visit, I look like an ingrate. Anyway, I’m flattered that you found 7-Imp an inspiration, ’cause this blog is wondermous, and happy birthday!
