Babysitting

Spending the afternoon with my wife, babysitting our youngest grandchild, Isla, who is two in September.
I think she is a future Goodreads member as she is constantly bringing me books to read to her.
Fortunately, she likes my present giveaway book, Shapes by SCHMOO, and is starting to learn the shapes as well as enjoying spotting SCHMOO on the pages.
I'm also discovering Winnie the Pooh, which wasn't part of my childhood. I love the poem "Us Two".

Recent Giveaway

I was touched by the many Goodreads' members (1180 of them) who entered my recent giveaway of "Really Revolting Rhymes".
As a newcomer to giveaways, I am grateful for the help of the Goodreads' staff who guided and encouraged me through the process.

I'm hoping to give away a copy of my first book, "Shapes by SCHMOO", in the near future.
Many thanks to the reader who kindly gave "Shapes" a good review.

I'm trying to find time to continue reading Evolution's Achilles' Heels, edited by Robert Carter. It's amazing what one learns about a subject when one starts digging into solid facts as opposed to opinions.
