Stretchbooks

Have you seen these new kinds of manipulative books (and I don't mean the type that can control you at will).  The kind that are published with the ability to manipulate pages or parts of the page.  This new stretchbook was pretty awesome!

Book Fair Books

A few books

From Lewis Carroll and Through the Looking Glass: 

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.”

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Book I want

It's on my list to buy.  Maybe it'll explain things that I can't seem to vocalize like how no one seems to be in my same situation with six kids and a dissertation looming.

Cross Section Books

So I was reading up on cross sectional books and got a bunch from the library to check out.  My son LOVED looking at the details, the illustrations, the text...everything.  I wish there were more cross sectional books that were't so history oriented and more fantasy. Might draw in more of an audience.  

An interesting genre though. 

Great Quote

“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

Name that book... :)

Golden Books

Don't get me jewelry.  Don't get me the latest fashions.  I will love you if you give me books.  

My uncle sent me the best gift of the year.  Of the decade!  A huge box of Golden Books.  

He was downsizing and wanted to give his children's books to someone who would appreciate them and BOY DO I!!!!

Sorry for the bad lighting that day on these pics.
