Now, I want you to close your eyes and think back. Amble down the streets of Mayberry, USA, past the courthouse over to Floyd's Barber Shop. Notice how time slows down with the traffic. Pull up a chair and listen to Andy and Floyd spin a few yarns. This story, Lentil, by Robert McCloskey could easily be one of Andy Griffith's yarns (but remember, it's Robert McCloskey's) describing the homecoming of the local celebrity, Colonel Carter. Sometimes town heroes pop up in the most unexpected places, impersonating themselves in the most unassuming people!
Hi Emily, Thank you for visiting my blog and for the very nice email. I'm glad you are enjoying my blog.
ReplyDeleteMy baby is getting to the age where we want to start reading to her and I've been so excited to start buying childrens books. Your blog will be a great resource for me. Thank you!
Ooh, another delicious book! Better than 'Make Way For Ducklings'? We drive by a pond every morning on the way to school, and I often think of that book.
ReplyDeleteYour blog just makes me happy - sweet, innocent, nostalgic

ReplyDeleteLove your dedication to reading. We are that way in our house. We read books every day to the boys, and I read a ton to myself!
