Wordless Wednesday

I've Been Tagged

Dawn at Picking up Pebbles tagged me to do a meme. I like this kind of meme where I don't have to ponder what to say about myself. He he.

Book Meme:

Rules -

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
   

I am sitting near a bookcase and my glance has fallen on a book that Sophie just read again: The Wheel on the School by Meindert DeJong.

"You'll see. You'll see. I..."

Ha ha ha ha ha! Don't you want to read that book now?!

Now, I'm not sure if "I..." counts as a sentence. Just in case, I'll include the next sentence:

Suddenly he was staring up into the sky.

Whet your appetite a little more? You will just have to read that book to find out what he was staring at... and to find out who "he" is. Seriously, though, any book by Meindert DeJong is worth reading. He understands how children think. In his book Journey from Peppermint Street, he poignantly portrays the thoughts and fears of a young boy. When I read it, I remembered feeling and fearing so deeply as a young child, even though as an adult my thinking has mellowed.

As Wordy As I Wanna Be Wednesday

Logan was actually making the tiger say "Hi" as it was biting the bear's bum. The tiger also kissed the tow truck in this episode of Toddler Imagination.
