Description

"Elliotts cup runneth over with good cheer in this rhymed toast to people and not just the two-legged variety. . . . Will have listeners calling for another round." Kirkus Reviews

Heres to the birds and the bears and the bugs! Heres to the weird and wacky, the cute and creepy! From toothy fish to get-you-when-youre-sleeping cats to lick-lick-lick-lick-lick-lick dogs, every creature is unique and lovable . . . especially you! David Elliotts infectiously joyful poem and Randy Cecils brilliant, amusing artwork invite us to celebrate the worlds vast diversity and feel pretty happy with our place in it, too.

I wanted to sleep in the morning; he wanted to crow. The rooster won, of course. The first verse of AND HERE'S TO YOU! is a tribute to his victory and to the joys found in simply following your nature."
