I have read the book (rather listened) and really enjoyed it. <br />About 6 months ago I started reading Tumbler out loud in the evenings to my older 5 (ranging in age from 6 to 13) and they all loved it. I have read many other books to them, but they always talk about Tumbler. I think partly because they can occasionally see Brand's icon go by on my twitter feed, and I get the "Dad you know the author, can you really talk to him?" But more so because I think they really enjoyed to story, as did I. I have shared it (I know pirate) with several people who all enjoyed it as least as much.<br />As soon as I scratch together the very small mount to buy an e-copy of this book I will be reading that them them as well. I know I could let them listen to the podcast, I and I might let the older ones do so, but I enjoy reading it to them so I can experience it with them. Besides, it gives me an excuse to read it again.Jeff Hitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753175455853389865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738174603029644797.post-7632487518475506182011-04-05T13:59:07.123-07:002011-04-05T13:59:07.123-07:00Update: my friend's ten-year-old has now read ...Update: my friend's ten-year-old has now read Tumbler FOUR times and seems likely to be going for a fifth very soon. There was exactly one set of books I would read over and over again, starting over as soon as finished like that when I was her age, and those were the Oz books.

I really appreciate the time you took not only reading my work, but also telling everyone about it.<br /><br />Alas, I cannot blame an iPad for my horrible "it's" problem. I just grew up wrong as far as that goes, and it never got caught in editing. However, I want you to know that I am going through the entire text, checking each instance for possessive vs. contraction usage. I don't know how long it will take, but there will be a new version out there.<br /><br />Thanks again for this!BrandGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363189956809233429noreply@blogger.com
