On Friday during normal folks lunch hour, I headed out to run errands in preparation for a Mother’s Day Lunch. While out I ran into a quaint little bookstore called, “The Children's Bookstore" Actually when I think about it...a little book in the window lured me in – talk about advertising! The book, “Zoo, I drew,” by Todd Doodler. I’d say it was the color + graphics on the book cover and then the construction of the book that just stood out (amazing what the eye detects).
I immediately fell in love with this bookstore first step in the door. Cozy, small, quaint, homey, and perfect is how I’d describe this store. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Barnes & Noble’s but this store had appeal! I can only imagine what story time and book signings would be or feel like here. Being in this store took me back to the movie “You’ve Got Mail” – which I absolutely adore. Can you imagine that or see where I’m going? I’m sure you can!
Okay. So I’m rambling with this post...back to the subject matter.
I eventually left the bookstore with two books (and did I tell you I am on a new budget – HA!). The two books are:
- The Zoo I Drew (the book that lured me into the store); and
- On Your Potty Little Rabbit (because I’m attempting to potty train @ 19 months – yeah I know).
Take a few moments to check out these two books…maybe add them to your library.
p.s. Within 40 seconds of looking at the “Zoo I Drew” book the back page was torn in half – I could fight this kid. The "On Your Potty..." book, well, my son said, “poop and pot”…25 minutes later my son walks over to me and says, “poop”. I then said, “Beeka, did you poop?” He said, “yes” and ran away laughing!
