Great Day for Up

Great Day for Up: By Dr. Seuss, Pictures by Quentin Blake I think this is my signature book! Read this story to find that it's a great day for up, being up, and getting up, however not necessarily a great day for the character at the end of the story to be getting up and out of bed! LOL!! I love it. You probably will too. This is a very cute, energetic story.
Happy reading.....

The Napping House by Audrey Wood...

Illustrated by Don Wood. This is a very cute book. The illustrations are nicely done as well. The story is similar to "The House That Jack Built", in which each part of the story builds from the last thing that happened. And in the end, it all comes tumbling down. Check it out for your kiddos. They'll love the flea and how it all goes down in the end!
Happy reading....

I'm back...and lost among all the books!


I just wandered into a local Barnes and Noble bookstore, where I am currently writing this blog...and I have found lots of fun things to write about!! I just love coming to the bookstore. I could get lost for hours among the shelves of books. Does anyone else feel the same? If so, leave me a comment, and share your stories. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts about reading, books, the library, their favorite bookstores, etc.


Anyway, happy reading. I hope you enjoy what I share with you today!

Local Bookstore Events: Children's Story Time

Just wanted those of you out there with kids to know that the Borders bookstores in Sacramento on Fair Oaks Blvd. and in Folsom on East Bidwell Street host "Children's Storytime" every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. I have never been, but am planning my next free Tuesday to go check it out at one of these stores. Be waiting for upcoming blogs for information on when I'm planning to go and then for a review. If anyone would like to join me, let me know and maybe we can figure out a date and time to go check it out together!
Oh, and if you've ever been, leave me a comment on what you think....
Happy reading and happy Friday,
Tiffany <3

Collecting Children's Books

I decided while I was at the bookstore today, that I do love children's books so...that I am going to start collecting the ones that I especially take a liking to. There are so many great children's books that I have come across in various different stores. I just never pick them up because I don't have kids of my own. I realized today, however, that there are not boundaries regarding books and reading. Just because I'm an adult and a book may be classified as a "children's book," doesn't mean that I can't read it and it doesn't mean I can't purchase it. So, in addition to the novels I pick up for myself, I intend to start collecting children's books as well. Oh, and just an FYI, I do take hand me downs and gifts! Just kidding...well, sort of....but really, feel free to send anything you think I may like my way... or leave me a comment with any suggestions and recommendations. Thanks! And again, happy reading!!
