One Last thing I'm Thankful For... And Compiling a Holiday Book List

Hey y'all. Happy December.

Kid C had an assignment to write one thing he's thankful for, inside a drawing of a candy corn.  Here's what he turned in: I'm kind of proud of him, because I've always told him to "Think outside the candy corn."

My favorites:the unavers and space (the universe and space)a home and corn and tirky and a god and chikin and foodand pincek (pancake)

And for the big finish in the lower right had corner....the world and pets and peple and Ham

In that order. 

The thing I learned from this (besides someone needs to work on his spelling) is that even if a kid can't speak at age five, you may reach a point at age seven where you can't shut him up. For that, I'm grateful.

As the holiday season begins, may we all think outside the candy corn.



Before I go, (I'm at my computer, I'm not really going anywhere) let's think of good books for people to buy as presents this month.



I'll go first:

Sweethearts by Sara Zarr. 



I just read this yesterday, for the first time, in two sittings. Loved it.



Now, your turn. (Or you can leave a comment and just say hi.)
