Here&#39;s my review, &#39;though I&#39;m pretty sure you read it way back when---&gt; http://hopeistheword.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/book-review-the-underneath-by-kathi-appelt/<br /><br />I&#39;ll have to be on the look out for Appelt&#39;s picture books, especially since I&#39;m from the South &#39;n&#39; all. ;-)Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550217732865803952.post-91549869185408634312009-10-24T09:46:40.132-07:002009-10-24T09:46:40.132-07:00Have you read The Underneath by Kathi Appelt?
