Books!

I'm the Auntie that gives books. All my little nieces and nephews (okay, actually really good friends' kids who call me Auntie) get so many toys (that they never play with) from relatives, it's incredible. So I'm always giving books. Usually ones I loved as a kid but finding a few newer ones along the way. Today I had to get them Hogula: Dread Pig of Night for Halloween. I love this book - a pig puts people who stay up past their bedtime into a deep, piggie snooze by snorting their neck. How adorable is that? I also thought about getting The Hallow-Wiener because...yeah. (OMG, the pictures are so cute!!) But I decided against it since the kids I was shopping for are pretty young and there's talk of a graveyard, which would probably scare them yet. Maybe in a year.

I always wondered where you strange obsession with farm animals came from, and now I'm beginning to understand it, I think.

>=D

HA!!! Well, I'm really not interested in chickens, if that helps. :D

I LIKE chickens.

I don't know if I can talk to you anymore, now.

You're never to young for graveyard picture books with re-animated chicken corpses! I think Jan Brett has a nice one out.....

Won't somebody think of the children?!

Talk to Ms. Brett. She's the sick monkey.

OMG! That is the cutest book! I have to get a copy for Yermo. He'll *love* it!

The pig one or the dog one? The pig one is great because you can make snorting noises on their necks. The kids go nuts. :D

Dammit! I forgot to look when I was at the bookstore today. Probably because I hadn't planned on being at the bookstore today. *scowl*
