These are some of my favorites. I loved the Little Bear book. I actually picked this copy up at a thrift shop 20 years ago. No idea what happened to my childhood copy.
Then there were these other books. (Sorry it blurred, I couldn't steady myself today.) I love the art!
Not pictured, the "Little Miss" and "Mr." Books. I had so many of those! I loved when my mom read them to me. They were so silly. Great memories.
I have lots of great memories of reading and being read to. I LOVED library day at school. And PizzaHut Book It, I earned free pizza every month!
In April I posted about being a volunteer librarian in middle school. It was awesome. If it weren't for my health issues, I'd probably try to get a job as a librarian. (In my country that is actively trying to shut them down🤦♀️ by defunding. Talk about no job security. Sigh. Political 🤐) But anyway, I love books. I think literacy is the most important non-survival gift a child can be given. (Meaning food, water, and health come first. SORRY, that really shouldn't be political. My bad...🙊🙉🙈 ) I believe in reading. I loved watching Reading Rainbow. (Crap, political again.🫣)

Screw it, I can't figure out how to not sound political, even when I'm honestly trying not to. But, since I guess the liberal Democrat is just woven in me, I'm gonna go for broke and all in with:
🏳️🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH 🏳️🌈
LGBTQIA+ and allies, I hope you celebrate well.
Anonymously Esther O'Neill, and Google really should understand why I don't pick up security texts.. No Signal - in 2025.
ReplyDelete? Are non-political people actually alive ?
Reading is important! Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteLittle bear! Oh, good memories -- and the other books in image, I read all of those too. What a treat! My husband recently found the Little Miss and Mr books and brought them home for our kids. Those were the best!
ReplyDeleteMy mom was a true liberal when it came to education and let me read anything I could understand. I don't think I read kids' books until I was reading them to my kids!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. We just have to do what we can. And I didnt read much in the way of little kids books, except Alison Uttley and Beatrix Potter.
ReplyDeleteI wish they'd had that Pizza Hut program when I was a kid. I would have been feasting on tiny pizzas. LOL It's great that they helped motivate so many kids to read.
