Well, I have to tell you I just spent several hours in a place I have not been in a long time! The Children's book department at Barnes & Noble! Since my youngest is 20, you can image that it has been awhile!The reason I was there is that our R.S. President is having a joint baby shower for 2 new mothers in our ward and it is a Children's book Shower....each of these mothers have 2 or 3 of the same sex children, so probably do not really need a lot of clothes etc...and she is "The Book Wizard" after all....and I think it is a brilliant idea!
So back to reading and reading and reading all of these children's books...they were awesome! But one made me cry and I don't care how old my children are they are all getting it for Valentines day! It is called "The Kissing Hand" it's a keeper....and one of the mothers is getting it tomorrow! I hope I haven't ruined the surprise!
I'm excited to see what books I debated over and put back....that hopefully others bought...because they were all great and any children's library should have them and then I won't feel so bad that I couldn't buy them ALL!!!!!!

The Kissing Hand is a good one! I'm glad that you spent some quality time in one of my favorite spots (which is where I am getting ready to head to right now for a couple of "last minute" things).
See ya tomorrow.

(seriously, this is my title and all my students know it! After all, they are "Royal Readers!").
I love that "The Queen of Books" is your title...I'll quit making them up now and use that one! And I love that you call your kids "Royal Reader" see how good you are!!!!!
What a cute idea to have a book shower! Children need those good books and what a great time to start a collection.
I've heard about the book shower idea before and I think it's fantastic!! Who couldn't use more books in their life!!!
