You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I think too, that for little kids especially the colour in illustrations can grab their attention which helps draw them into the story being told in the book. I did little books for each grandchild's birthday when they were little, just a scrap of story with illustrations & as I eventually had six grandkids it got to be quite a bit of work but they enjoyed them; I think some of them still have some of their books. I had a battle with eldest granddaughter to not do any more once they reached their teens, but pointed out that the last thing any teenager wanted was a book written by their gran!

Good for you Popeye - you get to live your life too, & if not now, then when.

I've recently started re reading some of my old books Mica - very interesting too as I'm a different person now so its a different experience altogether.


Very successful hunting this morning, found a beautiful trivet, very colourful with a gorgeous Tui head on it for third eldest granddaughter's birthday next month & also a wee bottle of her favourite shower gel while I was there; already have a book of Maori proverbs for her so just some chocolate now & that's her birthday sorted.

I'd intended to mow a lawn when I came home but too knackered so it can wait till tomorrow - weather permitting.
