By the way, if you think children’s books are just for kids, think again. Many adults read them as an enjoyable way to escape adulthood. Plus, it’s a far better thing […]

I only participated once, but I had a blast. Wherever we were planning to go didn’t work out, so we all split up and went different places around the city. The girl I found for my roommate had to pull out at the last minute, but she found someone else to go with him. When the substitute date showed up, she had brought a friend who was inseparable from her, so we found a date from a different dorm for her (he had been on our floor the previous year, so we knew him pretty well). So off the 6 of us went on the town. We stopped at a coffee shop somewhere (I think it was Starbucks), and they had a bunch of children’s books set out. Most of us got really excited and started reading them aloud. My roommate, on the other hand, had a case of adultitis and was (in my opinion) a slave to “sophistication”…and he was not pleased with our excitement over children’s books. Which made it all the more fun to read the books aloud, partly because it was fun in general, and partly to bug my roommate. As we walked back to the car, I was yelling, “Hundreds of cats, thousands of cats, millions and billions and trillions of cats!”

That was so fun!!

Nothing against it, it just hasn’t happened. Might be about time….

They’ll both have you laughing out loud and you’ll want to read them over and over.

1) The Pigeon Finds A Hot Dog (by Mo Willems)
2) Diary of a Worm (by Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss)

Too funny that your blog is about children’s books….I totally thought of you when I bought my “new” 39 cent stamps a few weeks ago….they are favorite children’s book animals….the hungry caterpillar, the wild thing, curious george, wilbur the big, maisy the mouse, fox in socks etc. You may like to order some online….I’m enjoying putting a little childhood on my snail mail! :)
