Oh my god... so freaking adorable! Poor Frank wakes up one day and one of his legs is missing. He's not sure he is a spider anymore with 7 legs. He's on a mission to find his missing leg. Will he find it or be a lesser than spider? Cute artwork and super sweet story.

Love our local library and the amazing kids section it has! Kids picked up some Halloween books and a few others while we were there too. A trip to the library is always fine!

Heard about this cool 1964 book when I read Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman. Her dad Clifton was S&S‘s editor-in-chief & The New Yorker book critic. He thought young kid‘s books in that era were too easy to read & not challenging enough. He believed children‘s lit must be “smarted up” rather than “dumbed down.” Hence this creative story about a very hungry bookworm who decides to feast on the dictionary for fun word to munch on and learn.🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Deblovestoread Love this! 1mo
MemoirsForMe @Deblovestoread This book even taught me a few things. ☺️🙌🏻 1mo

One of our favorite restaurants uses choose-your-own-adventure books to give patrons their checks. I approve. (They also have photos of Danzig and heavy metal cats in the bathrooms.)

ImperfectCJ Ew, sorry for the blurry photo. I couldn't tell it was blurry with my progressives. I don't think I have a better one, though. 1mo
IriDas It's stylishly blurry. Like the haze of remembrance. :) 1mo

Four children and a parrot want to explore an offshore island in the hope of finding a Great Auk.

Good fun, if not as gripping as I remembered from my childhood. Apparently this was the modernised/bowdlerised version, though I don't remember the original well enough to be able to tell.

Cuilin Love rereading books from childhood. I read most by Blyton but this group of kids I don‘t remember. 2mo
