Ever since my young son and I checked it out from the Durham Public Library years ago, Sally and the Something has been on the top shelf of my children's book collection.

It's one of those books that personifies summer... and childhood. And it makes for an especially good read today, as summer is waning and the chill of winter is in the air.

So I got permission from the author and illustrator, George O'Connor (he actually responded to my email!), to post a read-a-loud of his book, which has become one of my absolute favorites.
