Just had to get a couple last books in after reading Alicia’s letter:

The Art of Bone-Jeff Smith

Not on the list,but…a companion to all the “Bone” comics,as well as a book for art classes,perhaps?

Amelia Rules #3-Superheroes by Jimmy Gownley

Because it was still on the list and I could not just let it sit there unpurchased.

Rock on everyone!

I just can’t stop buying books. And eating Thin Mints. That second part’s not so relevant here though. There are notes saying that kids are requesting certain books, and who am I to be like, “No, child, no books for you!” That’d be so mean. I just bought

Baby Bop’s Purse (Barney)
I Love It When You Smile-Sam Mcbratney
Harold and the Purple Crayon: Dinosaur Days-Liza Baker
Each Little Bird That Sings-Deborah Wiles
Max’s Breakfast-Rosemary Wells
The Tail of Emily Windsnap-Liz Kessler

Thanks to Ashley Thomas, who sent $50 in memory of Lena Miller. “I have been an avid reader since the age of four, so I’m just passing it on!”

Thanks as well to Dana Meller, for her gift of three books to the Children’s Institute.

Found out about this through TWOP, and since I wore out the children’s section of my library as a child, I was only too happy to be able to join in this effort. I so wish I was able to do more (in the future, perhaps). I’ve loved reading since I was very tiny, and it’s beautiful to share it with others.

I was reviewing my order from this morning and realized I left 2 books off the list:

Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Kittens! Kittens! Kittens!

It’s been great fun knowing that I’m helping get books in the hands of appreciative and deserving kids. I can’t wait to do it again next year.
