That is one of my favorite things too.

I used to seek out super old books....like written in the 1800's. The way they wrote makes for a more challenging read.

I like old books from the depression era or the old west.

just found an early edition of Heidi at my favorite used book store---loved it as a kid and want my granddaughter to read it

I really hope she does. It is worth reading. So many good books that build a creative mind are not read anymore it is a shame.
I think there is a bit to much instant gratification these days and patience, the ability to take time to do something is being lost.

That is awesome on many accounts!
Congratulations on the soon to arrive new grandbaby!
I hope she shares with you what she likes and dislikes in Heidi. Best conversation starter is a good book you have read and she is reading.
So much better to get lost in a good book than a video game!
 
I’ve actually never read Heidi. It didn’t even occur to me that it was a book before the shows. Now I want to read it :lol:

I can’t say I know of any books from that era. Do you have any recommodations?
 
My kids love reading. DD#'s favorite was Uncle Wiggily's Story Book. The school she was in has a reading minutes program, so I had her read to her sisters every night, and I would read every morning from a different book. Being read to counted as well, so they got 10,000+ minutes every school year. Each daughter that went there was on the 10,000 minute plaque every year they were there.

Reading is something that if encouraged early on will give a lifetime of pleasure.

Awesome pictures! How do you manage to even take a picture of the fish? Mine won’t hold still :(, lol. I would live to get banjo catfish how big do they get?

There’s just something about paper books, isn’t there? I tried going back to school online and just couldn’t handle online studying! I have read Anna Karenina as an ebook, all 1400(?) pages. I figured my ipad would weigh less :lau
