Got some great stuff today.
Small is very happy with Planet Animal: Saving Earth’s Disappearing Animals, Monster Book of Manga Fairies and Magical Creatures and Smasher for bedtime. He’s decided that Planet Animal is so good he wants a copy for himself, which is a fairly standard reaction to a library book, and we’ll just have to see.
Oh good, Captain Mack has finished and we’ve moved on to Curious George. I like Curious George.
I got a good selection too. Thought I’d see if Meat and 2 Veggies: How to combine meat and vegetarian meals without having to cook separate dishes offered any dietary inspiration. Have had a quick look and a bit disappointed to tell the truth. However Giant Book of the Body looks better. And Beastly Body Experiments has got plenty to get us going, along with Disgusting Digestion for good measure.
I got a couple more books to preview as well. Not sure about I Will Plant You a Lilac Tree for Big any time soon, but I’m building a list of novels about different historical times for when she finally tires of the Victorians. Also thought I’d try The Wind Singer although if it turns out to be good I’m going to be very irritated as they didn’t have part two, only part three. Still, that’s what the reservation system is for 🙂 Also got myself Mockingbird (S.F. Masterworks). Well, it had Masterworks written on it, so I thought I’d better give it a go.
Rounded out my selection with one that I thought Big might like Jazzy Jewellery: Recycle Materials to Make Cool Accessories (Ecocrafts). She got herself a whole set as well, including a poetry book, more on puberty and more on Victorians. Not sure that she got any story books this time, but then again not sure she’s finished the ones she already had here.
Right, Curious George has finished, and I’m trying to pry them out for another stroll down into town, this time in search of a wall planner. I think I may be being successful, so I’d better go.
(Oh and don’t worry, I’m sure the blogging frequency will drop off as I get used to this being at home lark again 😉 )
