BalletGirl came home today very excited about that bag she was carrying, it had all types of treasures inside. What was in the bag? Books. If you or if she is anything like me, you will learn that a book can transport you to a new world, time, place in a matter of pages. If it is a good book it can grab you the moment you begin to wait. Now that she is older I see her picking more books that are actually familiar to me. Do you recognize any of the books below?

How many of you remember poems by Shel Shiverstein? I also remember Franny K Stein and the Wimpy Diaries as her brother checked them out just a year or two ago. Course I didn’t like her comment, “Mom you know these books right?” In reference to Shel’s, “Yeah why?” She kind of shrugged and replied, “They just looked old, like classics.” OUCH.
