This is all about the beautiful book for children that I got from the Library to read to my girl. Yes, I still read to her although she is a pretty good reader because, well ... because we love it. It is our cuddle time.

Then why do I show all these books in the picture here? It is a sad story. I had all these fun books from the Library in high hopes of finishing them fast. I always get tempted and get more books each time I take my kids when I still haven't finished the first set! Usually I get to them fairly soon but this time it was just too much rock for this poor dragon fly:-) Yes, I like dragon flies! It is a childhood thing. I'll finish the 2 books on top before the due date. I hope.
Our book today is a beautiful narration in poetry written by Australian Sally Murphy. It is really an everybody's kind of book. Pearl worries about writing the rhyming poem requested by her teacher since her poems never seem to rhyme naturally. She is also suffering the slow loss of her Grandmother. Beautiful, beautiful book It has a single theme written not in rhyming verses but to rhyme with your heart. (Pearl Verses the World. Get it? Verses.) Murphy seems to have gotten the gist of the matter out very well in her simple yet endearing verse novel. Do read it with your kids and if they don't want to, then read it for yourself. It is a treat.

I too read for kids even now especially if its a book I enjoyed when I was small:-).
Ur set of books had me looking wistfully.....hrd there is a library closeby to where I shifted, havent chked it out yet.
Dragonflies....ages since I saw one. I too have lots of memories even tho I didnt particularly feel anything for them:-).
I'll keep this Sally Murphy book in mind when I go chk out the library. And got it....verses I mean:-)).
i am sure they prize that time with you..here is wishing lots of time for you at the library. once you start it will hold you there. so beware:-) dragon flies to me are always associated with going home from school time and so a relaxed memory..i do hope you will get to read it. i got it a little late:-)
For me a perfect treat for eyes is a pile of interesting books to read.. there are no libraries around my place.. but i got an alternate I am a member of bookmeabook.com and get ample books on request, at least I am still hooked on to my first love.. reading... :)
