Story Time...

Elsie loves story books...We try to go the Library every few weeks for new books...everyday Elsie pulls half the books off the shelves and plops down to look at them...Some times she imagines she is the character from a book...today she was Eloise!
Elsie has 2 favorite books from our shelves...one is "Queen of the Class" by Mary Engelbreit. Elsie knows the book by heart and always feels so bad for poor Ann Estelle when she is not chosen to be the princess...one day Elsie was almost in tears for poor Ann Estelle! Elsie doesn't just listen to a story book...she feels the book with that vivid imagination of hers!

Another favorite is a beautiful vintage book with lovely ink drawings..."We Were Tired of Living in a House" by Liesel Moak Skorpen.

This is a simple story about finding just the right home...this has been Elsie's favorite book for a long time now...

I love art work in children's books...and it looks as if Elsie had picked that up from me...she will sit and stare at one page in a book for quite some time, point out some little detail than move on to the next page! Books play an important part of our life around here...
