LadyD Books

Books Bought is a meme hosted by Cindy of Cindy’s Love of Books.

Perhaps you would like to join in the fun. It's really quite simple to do. Just share a list of your book purchases in a post on your blog and let us know what treasure you've found. Sometimes I have found some great sales on children's books at Barnes and Noble, other times through Amazon.com and then in our small town right next to our library is a book store.

Here's my list:

1. Chicka Chicka 123
by Bill Martin Jr.

5 stars! It's a great counting book, silly and fun. There are numbers climbing an apple tree. 1-20 climb, and then counting by 10's until 100 is at the top of the apple tree!

2. You Were Loved Before You Were Born
by Eve Bunting

5 stars! I love Eve Bunting's books. being a grandmother, her books show the children warm security of belonging being loved by the family. My favorite line: "We were all waiting... and then you came!"

3. So Happy
by Kevin Henkes

5 stars! Warm-hearted picture book about a rainy day with gorgeous illustrations.
I know you love books...

So tell me, what books did you buy?

I hope you enjoy your stay at LadyD Books.
Thanks for stopping by!

What's happening on Fridays? Gaby317 from New York hosts a meme called Friday 56.

Here's how it goes:

* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog Starting Fresh and to Storytime with Tonya and Friends
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

The funny thing is that I didn't reach for the coolest, most intellectual and favorite book. I reached over and grabbed another children's paperback book that was resting by my side. I often find that my kiddo books are oh so simple in text! :) Turning to the fifty sixth page and reading to the fifth sentence, here's mine:

"I know". (But the neighbors mind my keeping Hopscotch in the yard.)

From The Pony Problem by Barbara Holland

About The Book:

When Jean Monroe wins a pony named Hopscotch in a contest, she can't believe it--and her neighbors don't want to believe it. They're doing everything they can to get rid of Hopscotch. When the A.S.P.C.A. comes to take her pony away, Jean knows she's got to come up with a miracle. And she may just have the faith and imagination to do it.

I hope you enjoy your stay at LadyD Books.
