You've done a wonderful job on this! I love the category metaphors. I think I'll pass on the beef sundae, though. ;-) Thanks for hosting!
Thanks for doing such a wonderful job with the 12th Carnival of Children's Literature! It looks great--and makes me feel hungry...to read.
Great job! And thanks for getting our entry in at the last minute (or actually, one minute after the last minute) . . .
What a great list of articles. Thanks for the mention and now I am off to read a few of the submissions. This carnival is certainly very popular.
Wow. wow, wow, wow. So many posts, so little time!
Wow! Can't wait to settle in here with another cup of coffee. :-)
Oh, my word, what a feast of posts here! The State Fair looks awesome. Thank you, thank you. That's a lot of work that went into this.
I am amazed by how many posts there were when it seemed to come on last minute (at least from where I stood, but I may not have been paying enough attention). I am deeply impressed that you pulled all this together. Great job.
AWESOME JOB! Better get reading.....
Thanks for all of your hard work!
Wow this is great! What a lot of work you put into this, and what an amazing list of great posts to read. Thanks!
Oh my goodness -- this is fabulous. It's going to take me a month just to get through all these selections!
Great carnival! This is the most creative one in a long time -- you've raised the bar!!!
MMMmmmm...I can almost smell the fried foods...can't wait to dig in!
Fabulous carnival! Thanks!

Wow--incredible work! Thanks for all of this.
Just wanted to point out that Libby Koponen wrote "Money & Writing"--I just submitted it. But perhaps I submitted it wrong. Sorry!
Well Done...do many posts, so little time. Thank you for your efforts.
A belated thank you for including me in this terrific event!
