    Except its really just the first 10 of their list - the list of 25 is in order alphabetically, not ranked in any order of “must read”

    Hi. I write a library web comic, “Shelf Check,” and have written a few strips on And Tango Makes Three in the past: http://shelfcheck.blogspot.com/search/label/andtangomakesthree

    I’m hoping to spread the word about a button that reads “I read And Tango Makes Three to my kids” that folks can wear for Banned Books week (or, hey, year-round). The button is here:

    It’s $1.95, the lowest base price Zazzle offers–I’m not looking to make a profit. It’s also fully customizable, so your can substitute “niece” or “patrons” for “kids,” etc. Please consider taking a peek, and thanks for this post.
