Richard Scarry is the best!

When you don't reign in your imagination...What always flummoxed me is why the Brits loved it so much???

Probably because it wasn’t as depressing as East Enders?

My eyes get very tired very quickly these days.

Mine do as well, but I just take a break and do it again . I will say I need to get new glasses when all my other issues settle down. I have always enjoyed reading. I would read just about anything, now I really don't read as much as I should.

I've been listening to audio books lately.

I find that if I'm doing some boring repetitive chore it helps me through it and I can enjoy a good book at the same time.

I'm glad you were brave enough to speak up Whodat. I prefer children's and Young Adult fiction too.

I often find adult fiction and literature to be frustrating or depressing ...or both! (I'm looking at you Wuthering Heights!)

Good evening folks

Me too - I have a whole childrens books bookshelf that I dip into now and then. I don't know if any of you are familiar with the British painter called Brian Wildsmith - he did a lot of illustrations for kids books and I have quite a collection and I love all of them.

I just looked him up. Such bright and cheerful illustrations. They make me smile.

Eeeeeeeee ..... me too!
And my favorite thing was to read to my children! I would read multiple books a day and I would even sing some of the books in “opera” and they would all sit quietly... apparently my “opera” didn’t make them sick .... btw, I CANNOT sing

I've been collecting fairy tales for some time and still have a lot of my favourite books from when my kids were little, as well as some from my own childhood.

I love P.J. Lynch's illustrations. Many of his heroines have red hair which I am rather partial to.

And I am grateful to know all of you and learn from you as well!

Ditto!

What is swelling Sue?

My feet and legs from water retention if I don't sit with them up all day, they swell

Eeeeeeeee ..... me too!

That's awesome I'm like you give me a children's or young adult book and I'm happy Don't feel alone on not being able to sing, I work with little kids and they truly don't care what you sound like.

Good evening everyone

I've been listening to audio books lately.

I find that if I'm doing some boring repetitive chore it helps me through it and I can enjoy a good book at the same time.

I do the same with podcasts! And lately, to get through a work day I’ve been listening to cheesy poppy 80s music. I think it gives me a serotonin boost.

I’m still working my way through the essay at the beginning.
