Ok, goodread friends: before you write me off entirely, I just want you to know that I was forced into this review. Eleanor's been begging me to read this book, and to review it.
...I have to get her her own account.
Currently, Gwennie is playing with a plastic Doc McStuffin's syringe, and bouncing it over half a Mr. Potato-Head and Strawberry Short-Cake. Poppy is sitting on my lap, sucking her thumb, with "washable" marker all over her arms. Eleanor is flipping through an old photo album, counting the pages.
Gwennie: Now we're never going to get him! OK! LET'S GO! (Picks up a pen and brown crayon) BEASTLY! What are you doing here?!?! NO HEART! One, two, three... I'm going to hold on to you. (The syringe makes squeeking, scratching noises as it hops to Mr. Potato-Head...)
Dad: Are you guys ready?
Eleanor: Oh! I didn't know we were starting the review.
Gwennie: MR. POTATO-HEAD! I'm going to get the Kitty.
Poppy: (Picks up "toys" Gwennie left.)
Dad: Yeah, lets get going.
Eleanor: But Gwennie's seeing the cat.
Dad: But you're the one who told me we HAVE to review this book. So lets go. Gwennie's back. What did you think? What did you think of the book?
Eleanor: I think it was GREAT I liked it when the giant climbed up the stairs.
Gwennie: I liked lots of parts, but the part I liked was when kids asked if they could have a story. And they said, "please, please" and their parents said no. And I liked it when the kids got under a tent and made their own story. AND!!! And I liked it when the kids were on the unicorn! AND AND AND!!! I liked it when the mom brought the bedtime snack. I'd like to have a bedtime snack in bed sometime.
Eleanor: ME TOO! I'd like cinnamon-toast for my bedtime snack sometime.
Gwennie: I'd like BUTTER-toast for my bedtime snack! (Looking at the screen while I type) HEY! You said my name. In the review. You said my name. And there's Eleanor's name!
Eleanor: Why didn't you say Poppy's name?
Gwen: Where's Poppy's name?
Dad: Poppy hasn't said anything. (She has left and is playing on the floor with the cat.)
Gwennie: (Leaves to Poppy, whispers): Poppy! Say something! Poppy! Say something.
Eleanor: Explain that Beastly is from Carebears. Daddy. And that I love that Bitty Twins book. Tell Diana that when I like a book, I name my babies from the book. Tell her that I like the book that much. That I'm naming babies because of this book... they're in my tummy right now. Also, tell her that Beastly is from the Carebears and not from this book.
Dad: (Side note: This book was a present to Eleanor from my wife's friend Diana.) Did you guys even say thank you to Diana yet?
Eleanor: Oh! Maybe we could say thank you in the review? Thank you Diana! Maybe we could say thank you in a letter too.
Dad: Did you want to tell me how many stars to give it?
Eleanor: OH! LETS GIVE IT 5! 5! 5! 5!
Gwennie: FIIIIIIVE! Poppy say 5 too!
Poppy: FIVE!
Eleanor: Because it was AMAZING!
Gwennie: It was FANTASTIC! It was better than fantastic.
Eleanor: We loved it. And we can't stop saying that we love it.
Gwennie: And now, everybody's gonna say bye-bye!
Eleanor and Gwennie: BYE-BYE!!!
Poppy (five seconds later): Bye-BYYYYYyyyye!
This is generally what it looks like when we review a book. It's pretty chaotic.
