pickHeard about this cool 1964 book when I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman. Her dad Clifton was S&S‘s editor-in-chief & The New Yorker book critic. He thought young kid‘s books in that era were too easy to read & not challenging enough. He believed children‘s lit must be “smarted up” rather than “dumbed down.” Hence this creative story about a very hungry bookworm who decides to feast on the dictionary for fun word to munch on and learn.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversation?'

Last op shop on Wednesday was Lifeline. Grand total🟰 $84.
We went to a big used book sale yesterday and here's the kids' book haul - just look at all those Beatrix Potters! I can't resist a collection, especially at a super great price.
Not included in this stack are a baby shark colouring book and an Aladdin story/etch a sketch combo thing, both of which my kid found way too cool to let out of her hands.

“This very night while you lie quietly in your bed, open your eyes. Now look out your window! For even at this yawning hour so many of your friends are working to keep the world magical. Yes they are the ones who make new stars and put them up. The ones who light and keep the stars burning…”
