I read a book and my son ate a monkey.Yesterday was a pretty good day. :) I read The Giver (yes, again). I wrote about it twice last week...so there isn't much more to say. Except that there are several places where babies are a big part of the story; those parts have always been difficult, but yesterday was the first time I've read the book since the Little Mister was born, so they were especially tear-making.
I actually finished The Giver before 1:00pm (it's only 180 pages long), so I also read a magazine and kept going on the book I was already in the middle of (Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce). And the list of books I read with the Little Mister would take up several pages, but it included The Sneeches, one of his Christmas books. (I just love Dr. Seuss!)

OH, I love "The Giver"! I'm an elementary school librarian and it's a book I recommend to some of my students - those who can handle a book like that, which has so much food for thought. Did you know there was a sequel to it called "Gathering Blue"? It's also very good.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had fun all around!
ReplyDeleteare you not concerned about your sons stripedey tongue? ;)
