Welcome to this week’s Library Friday!
I go to the library so often that I thought I’d make a weekly MeMe to discuss the books our family loves to read. Each Friday, I post some books I currently have in my library bag here at home. You can play along too if you want to! Just write up a “Library Friday” post on your own blog, then come back here and post a comment with a link directed to your library post. I would love to see what some of you are reading too!
In my bag this week…
I Took the Moon For a Walk - Back in April, a month before Jack-Evan was born, I decided it was time I familiarized myself with the children’s section of the library. When I discovered this veryveryvery adorable children’s picture book, I was hooked and knew I would want to check it out many more times! It’s a simple rhyming, fanciful story line where a little boy who can’t sleep goes on a walk around his neighborhood with the full moon. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous with intricate detail. Even adults will have fun “walking” with the moon, and noticing the various people and animals around town. Some of them are small so you have to look veryveryclose. The words are written in a loopy style, flowing up and down the page akin to the way the moon might “bounce”. It is really fun to read and say aloud too! I personally believe that children’s books should also entertain and capture adults – something that’s very hard to accomplish for most authors. But this enchanting book certainly fits the bill, and it’s a far cry from much of the atrocious twaddle out there labeled “children’s books”.

My husband went to the library for me yesterday (I just had baby Nate last week – yay!) and got me this book – “For the Children’s Sake – Foundations of Education for Home and School” by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay. I’m going to start it today. It actually made me think of you – maybe you have mentioned it on your blog before? Anyways, I’m excited to read it. I’m even more excited to start going to the library myself again – I miss that place and so does my little toddler!
Stephanie Cowart » YAY! CONGRATULATIONS!
That’s so exciting!!!! Welcome, Baby Nate! (Love the name!) 
I think I’ve heard of the book, but don’t remember off hand if I’ve read it (lol, I must put that one on my list to check out from the library now). I know I’ve heard of S S Macaulay before though.
Hey! When you start back going to the library, you can join me on Library Friday’s.
(P.S. You should get Nate there too! Jack’s first trip was when he was 3 weeks old – he rode on my chest in a baby sling. He still rides in a side sling now when we go….He’s been countless times now and seems fascinated with all of the books and riding the escalator at our downtown library.)
(P.S.S. Why don’t you do a post on your book this week then come back here and leave a link? You don’t have to have it finished!)
