3. First pedicure since Christmas.
4. Selecting nominations for #CampLitsy (there‘s still time).

Had 3 days off and accomplished my goal to read each day to the grandkids via Marco Polo. My son remembered I‘m Dirty as one of his younger brothers‘ favorites. Tagged book is my favorite of this group.

Happy Easter! 🐇🐣🐰 An old but cute picture.

This was one of the very first books to have delighted me as a child way back in the 80‘s, and it must have left quite an impression on me for me to still remember it fondly after all these years. I hope that kids nowadays still read this book and are as delighted with it as I was!

Look who was visiting the library at the same time as me today? 😍

Quote:
“I shall fly near these royal birds, and they will peck me to bits because I, who am so very ugly, dare to go near them. But I don't care. Better be killed by them than to be nipped by the ducks, pecked by the hens, kicked about by the hen-yard girl, or suffer such misery in winter.“

Blurb:
This traditional literature can be used to talk about the effect of our words.

Review:
This is a folktale because of the flat characters and it came from the imagination of someone when they were telling the tale.

“Mr. and Mrs. Mallard were bursting with pride. It was a great responsibility taking care of so many ducklings, and it kept them very busy.”

This is another book that my parents used to read to me when I was little and I always loved it. It reminded us of them because they used to live in Boston before I was around. It is such a sweet book and it makes people think about what animals in cities may be going through. There is nothing wrong with throwing bread to the ducks sometimes.
