Seredipity?
I loved these books as a child. Leo the Lop eared bunny, Nitter Pitter the horse, the Saveopotamus and the Hoardasaurus. Such great stories and illustrations and every story teaches a moral...everyone is "normal" , sharing is good, you know, the basics=) Well when I was down in Great Falls with Barb this weekend I found Leo the Lop (not pictured here because the kids are reading it in bed) and the nostalgia almost choked me, lol. I thought "what a wonderful set of books to have for bedtime stories!". We have been reading the Wemmicks series by Max Lucado another amazing set of books with insightful stories and illustrations and morals (are you seeing the pattern?) but with only 6 books in the set I have the repetition was killing me. So today I had a brain storm. The second hand book store I go to in Lethbridge is going out of business and everything is half priced the already halfed price so I went there and asked the Crazy Lady who runs it if she had these books. She did, I bought them. I am now very happy to have new material for bedtime stories and at the same time it's like I have found old friends. I take books very seriously.

books truly are like old friends.
And they don't laugh at you because you fell out of bed.
or pinch your bum because they know it's a tickle spot.
ahhh, good ol' books.
