He is so tenacious! This is a great trait for him to have between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

I admire him for wanting to continue his literary pursuits, even in the middle of the night!

Well, you know how it is when you are in the middle of a really good book and you just can't put it down! I think Matthew gets that way with "Panda Bear, Panda Bear What Do You See?" It's 3am and he can't sleep for wondering "What DOES he see?"

Yeah, he probably thought that the Panda Bear saw a Duck, but wanted to be sure!
