Bill Martin, Jr., now deceased, wrote some wonderful books for children. I was thrilled one year when he made a visit to a local bookstore.
An autograph is there! |

Guess what! It is time for that lunch at the adult day care center at our church! I need to work on the menu. That means a recipe or two.:-)
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
Kids do like scary things. I used to read anything as a kid. But now I seem to need to make myself read. It's as if I have lost some of my interest in things. Share your recipes Nellie. Smiles to you, Susie
ReplyDeletei read the ghost eye tree to my kids so many times that the pages are falling out!
ReplyDeleteI like your books. That is one of the things I am thankful for is that my grands love books. We went and saw Stephen Kellogg once at a book signing. Such a wonderful man.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy your book posts.
I love books too. The paper ones, not electronic although that is better than nothing.

I love books and I am always reading. I am so happy my sweet Grandson loves his books also. Grandma brings him a new one on each visit!! He is a little young for these but I will keep this author in mind. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWell, you know how much I love books! When our son was just a few months old, I found some cloth books at a local drug store. They had simple pictures and words, such as a ball, cat, dog, etc. He would take those books to bed with him and I could hear him "talking" to those pictures before he drifted off to sleep. Sometimes, he would start laughing at one of them, and it was really hard for me to stay out of his room, as I wanted to see what was so funny! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe'll look forward to those recipes, and hope they will be something that will allow you to stay off that bad ankle!!
I've loved reading all my life. : )
ReplyDeleteI love books and so do my grandkids. My granddaughter (age 10) uses her Mom's Nook all the time. Personally, like to "handle" a book and not use a reader- Times they are a'changing- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI used to really enjoy reading some of the books on my kids reading list. (like Wait Till Helen Comes) Also, choosing the ones to order through the book fair!
ReplyDeleteLinda in TX is the first one who told me of "the Ghost Tree." It is fantastic. And the illustrations are fantastic toooooo.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a signed copy.
I should look for more of his books. He was a gifted person.
Gentle hugs,
"Auntie"
Hi Nellie. I'll have to keep these books in mind when my little granddaughter gets a little older.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Heavens no, I don't jog now that I have ruined my knees forever more. :-) Did that last year.
ReplyDeleteThose books do look great... We need to do everything we can to encourage kids to read... Those books look like ones they would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
I think we have Barn Dance at the library.
