Crocheting without Supervision by Tommia Wright

So, I think I thought I thunk I knew how crocheting worked. Granted, what started as a flat scarf just went ’round in circles.

That brought to mind the cover for Dr. Seuss’ great book for grads – Oh, the Places You’ll Go! I remember when our professor in the prepatory program (literature was the course), read this to us, we all felt like kids again – an important feeling to have before we left one classroom for another. But I digress.

Seuss made reading fun, with quirky characters, fun scenarios and a rhythm of its own. I challenge you to go through The Cat and the Hat Songbook and make it through the “No Laugh Race” without laughing!

Seuss was the superb stringer of words whether it be cats with hats,  Horton with who’s, or Thing One and Thing Two. Which favorite Seuss character would you choose?

Another witty wielder of words is Jon Scieszka. Yes, The Book that Jack Wrote is on my shelf, right next to The House that Jack Wrote (a treasured gift from my pre-school teacher). Science Verse looks to be a fun read. Might have to find that on the library shelf when I return Seuss. Which books and authors belong on your ‘child-at-heart’s’ shelf?

Personally, I think these two authors, along with A.A. Milne belong on any child’s bookshelf. That reminds me, the book-shaped coin bank is full – time to buy a book or two (or maybe three) for a certain someone to spoil….
