Michael and his Blue Whale Problem

Ethan’s favorite book in the world, for the last couple of months, is “Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem” (http://www.amazon.com/Billy-Twitters-Blue-Whale-Problem/dp/0786849584/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262150286&sr=8-1) It is a very cute story about a boy who doesn’t listen to his parents, so they “punish” him by buying him a Blue Whale and make him take it around the streets of San Francisco, to school, the park etc. The problem is that Ethan insists that I read it to him every single night (sometimes multiple times a day). We had to buy a 2nd copy of the book after the author and illustrator signed the first one (I tried to wrestle it away from them, but they out numbered me). if I have to read that book one more time, I’m going to buy Ethan a Blue Whale!
