The very nice, very likable, and very talented Mr. Neil Gaiman (applause, applause) is now the recipient of the Newbery Award. I read The Graveyard Book, and I agree. It’s a lovely book with important themes such as the importance of family, loss, and friendship. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. That familiar blue cover will now have a beautiful gold seal on it which means a quality book inside. Congratulations, Mr. Gaiman. This award is well-deserved. There should also be one for most caring dog lover. He should get that one, too, for his dedication to the convalescing Cabal the dog.
Well, it’s getting late. Snuggle in and dream deep! It’s 6 degrees outside!
