Happy Pancake Day- Happy Mardi Gras...If you live in a state holding a
primary today..GO VOTE !!!!
OK~ Now that we have that out of the way, let's talk books....
Princess picked 3 picture books out of the library the other night.
When I was Little a four year old's memoir of her youth by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell
I think anyone who has a daughter this age, or older will have been through this.
Princess often says "when I was little I couldn't do this..."
Very sweet book about a 4 year old's looking back at all she has learned to do in 4 years.
SOFT HOUSE by Jane Yolen and Wendy Anderson Halperin
We love this illustrator's pictures of home life and wish our house to be just like them.
This story is about a sister and brother who make a "soft house" of blankets and cushions
to play inside while it rains outside. I would suggest having a stack of blankets and a plate of cookies ready to go when you are done reading this one...you will all want to build a "soft house"!
The Paper Princess by Elisa Kleven
I love Elisa Klevin's folk art paintings...the end papers alone are worth buying this book!
Very sweet story about a girl who draws a "paper princess" and loses her in the wind.
Will they be reunited? You will have to read it to find out.
I need to go make some pancakes for my Princess...have a lovely day!

Sounds Like great books. Got to try and get the Soft house one. Sounds great.
I was so happy to find out that my library has the Paper Princess and Soft House- I've added them to my list. Did you see that there are a couple sequels to Paper Princess? They looked really good too.
My kids loved the pancake book. Every Sunday morning is pancake morning at our house.
H- Thanks..you'll love it!
J-Yes, I saw the sequels, although I'm not sure if our library has them.
Mrs D- Us too! We love pancakes!
Cool books.
I was wondering if you have seen the Alfie books by Shirley Hughes. Z and I both loved them.

It looks like a good bunch of books (...and a good excuse to bake cookies).
I'm sorry I haven't yet replied to your 12/31 comment (I don't have your e-mail). I've been away for too long. My life is near ruins - I tried to explain in a blog post today, but I couldn't be any more specific on the web.
Cher- yes, we actually picked a couple up from a freecycler last year..very sweet.
Chanale- I have missed you and did not have your e-mail either..left mine at your blog today.
((hugs))
