A book I'm thankful for
Nov. 5th, 2011 08:55 pmI'm going with the book I drooled on lovingly:
I'm not sure whose idea it was to give baby Betty this book but it was the best idea ever. Firstly, it's interactive. You can pat the bunny, smell the flowers, and play hide-and-seek with Judy and Paul. So what if my copy had a defective scratch-and-sniff, and the piece of material for hide-and-seek was hanging by a thread.. I could still pat the fuzzy bunny. :D Secondly, the book demands you to. To quote: "Judy can pat the bunny. Now YOU pat the bunny." How could I not? But mainly, it brought me to the joy of reading. Well, eventually, because I did have an era where I'd only read pop-up books. But you know, reading is reading. Haha. I was one of those kids that was abandoned at the book area in stores. I'm sure a couple of very nice ladies asked me more than once if I knew where my parents were. My family would just drop me off there while they shopped, and then picked me up when they were done. This happened at Target, T.J.Maxx, the local grocery store, you name it.
And then stores started setting up those video game stations.. LOL.
Point is, I am definitely getting a copy of Pat the Bunny for my future children. I'm not sure where mine went but it wasn't in shape for sharing anyway. And I will abandon them in book sections of stores (with periodic surveillance). I turned out okay so I'm sure they will too. ;D
