Read a Book

If there's anything I like to do as much as sew it's read. I can lose a perfectly good day with the right book. My kids inherited this love of books. Even before age one, we would spend hours reading. That's because my child would crawl to me with whichever book he or she loved at the time and would throw it on me! Now they stay  up until we make them turn off their lamps looking at books and reading stories to themselves.

Todd and I have been so frustrated with the lack of quality children's literature. Do you know what I mean? Everything seems to be about nothing. Or nothing we care to share with our children.

Then one day at the library I stumbled upon a little book called Petunia by Roger Duvoisin. Wow! A story with a moral and so charming too. We quickly checked out every book our library carried by him, which was not so many since these were written in the 50s and 60s.

So I searched Amazon and came up with these. They cost between a quarter and four dollars, because they're old library books. How sad that they were withdrawn! But happy for us. We have a few more coming and I highly recommend him. Especially the Petunia and Crocus the Crocodile lines.

Hope you don't mind a break from the sewing blog.
