Dear Zoo buggy book #100books

Another lovely book sent to me by Liz from Me and My Shadow. This isn’t the full book with flaps that I remember from smaller children, instead it has the familiar pictures and is a board book with the animal’s name and accompanying descriptive text on each page. The elephant is, as you may remember, too big.

Elephants also, thanks to Elmer, say boo. So we flick through the book and make daft noises and pull funny faces and Smallest enjoys it. She carries it around the house with the loop that should attach it to the buggy, and I suspect that were she ever in a buggy, it would go with her. As it is, I also find the loop handy for attaching to the side of my bag, so that we’ve always got a book when we’re out and about.

Book 16 of 100.

The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitter using the hashtag #100books and facebook.

If you want to donate, please feel free, there’s a link in the sidebar or you can use this one. If you’d like to join in with your own version of the challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can link to you. And also, the booklink above is an affiliate link, but it’s set up with its own tracking id, so anything bought via a 100 book challenge link is separate to those usually on my blog, and I’ll be donating that money through to Oxfam as well.
