I found this little note taped to the cart today:  It says "children book from 6-8" Someone really likes to play Librarian. Today I replenished the book cart with another 50 books, making the total thus far to 194.  Before today's addition  there were 91 books remaining, .  But on top of the 91 of my books, another 30 books had been added to the cart.  I brought the new pile home to register them into the project with a bookplate and number.  This evening I will go back and put back 28 of them.  The 8 that I am not going to put back are: 1 book that makes sounds with dead batteries. 2 books about winter (which I plan to put back on the cart in the Fall) 1 book on Thanksgiving (again put back in October) and the 4 books I am still debating about.

The Cart Has Been Wheeled Over

About a year ago, when our son was 1-1/2 years old, you could read the same book over and over and over again to him, with no complaint.  He even had In The Night Kitchen , memorized since we read it a lot.  We had Sandra Boynton 's Going to Bed Book memorized to the point that whenever he heard the words, "The sun has set, not long ago..." he would begin crying since it signaled bed time. Skip to today, our son would rather "read" the new books.  Same with videos and food too.  Anything new, he will devour, and anything old, he will pass over. So if you need a new book to read to your child, and the library is closed, walk your laundry, or yourselves over to our corner laundromat for a story!   Hiro tries to push the cart by himself. Crossing the street. Organizing the books. Sort of organized....notice my all time favorite book at top: From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. My First reader!  A boy who was there, circled the scene
