TIME's Top 10 Children's Books...

If you don't want to waste a bunch of time looking at stuff online (because maybe you have more important things to do like, say, baking cookies or revising something), then DO NOT visit TIME's Top 10 Everything of 2008. It will suck you in. (How can one not check out the Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas or the Top Ten Campaign Video Moments?)

TIME also offers a list of Top 10 Children's Books. I was excited to see that The Pout-Pout Fish is number 7! The creators of The Pout-Pout Fish, author Deborah Diesen and illustrator by Dan Hanna, were both featured in "First Books" in the 2009 CWIM. (It was an all-picture books First Books.)

Big ol' Hurrah for Debbie and Dan!
