LibraryI have been on a huge library kick again, as I have 27 items currently checked out.
When I went to pick up one of my holds, i passed by this book and had to pick it up.
It is by Ruth Krauss who also wrote the Carrot Seed that I recently talked about.
Oh, if you get a chance to check out this book do! It is for adults and kids and anyone.
front cover of the book reads:
What would you say about eyebrows? Miss Krauss and the many children who made suggestions, revisions, additions (and subtractions) to this book say, "Eyebrows are to go over eyes." A face? "A face is something to have on the front of your head." Also, "a face is so you can make faces." Hands? Well, hands are to hold. And also "a hand is to hold up when you want your turn." "A party is to say how-do-you-do and shake hands" and also a "a party is to make little children happy." Of course, a borther is to help you, a package is to look inside, arms are to hug with, and a book is to look at.
I thought it would be fun to ask the girls the same questions in the book. If I come up with any funny answers I will let you know.
