The plastic cover felt so good in my hands.
I loved the sound it made when I opened it.
I could smell the pages.
It took me right back to the days when Mom would take me to the city library (or to meet the bookmobile) and I would bring home a stack of books.
I love the look of the old book ... many kids may pass it by, but I'm with you! I recently found a stack of old books that I had never read before that another teacher was discarding. I snatched them up! The illustrations are quite amazing - different style, but the story is just as good as today! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing about the illustrations in an older book I picked up from a discarded pile.
DeleteIt sounds like you picked up treasures!
I've never seen that one before. I shall look for it the next time I'm at the library. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sweet book about a little girl and her grandfather. I hope you find it!
DeleteThank you for being here.
