I'm getting into the Christmas spirit (BTW, where's the snow Colorado? No snow since April is unacceptable!) so I'm going to take a break from my other reading and dip into something Christmasy. I haven't chosen which one yet, but it will definitely be set in a snowy location!
pickOh my god... so freaking adorable! Poor Frank wakes up one day and one of his legs is missing. He's not sure he is a spider anymore with 7 legs. He's on a mission to find his missing leg. Will he find it or be a lesser than spider? Cute artwork and super sweet story.
Going old school here… I love the friendship of Pooh Bear and Piglet!!

Love our local library and the amazing kids section it has! Kids picked up some Halloween books and a few others while we were there too. A trip to the library is always fine!

Rain on The Scarecrow
Blood on the Plow.
This song says it all about farmers and their dedication to feeding us.

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.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of our favorite restaurants uses choose-your-own-adventure books to give patrons their checks. I approve. (They also have photos of Danzig and heavy metal cats in the bathrooms.)
pickFour children and a parrot want to explore an offshore island in the hope of finding a Great Auk.
Good fun, if not as gripping as I remembered from my childhood. Apparently this was the modernised/bowdlerised version, though I don't remember the original well enough to be able to tell.
