No books in hiding at the moment I'm pleased to report, but I just made a library run so we've got a lot of new 'stock'.Mrs Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01962274897766990086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433994941553506639.post-79486217551242019472013-03-18T13:00:52.296-07:002013-03-18T13:00:52.296-07:00I agree about timing, too.

In fact, she'll tell me "maybe for when I'm older" as a way of rejecting a book. <br /><br />I like the idea of hiding the occasional book, too ;-) Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433994941553506639.post-7575369200832978722013-03-17T12:51:26.743-07:002013-03-17T12:51:26.743-07:00I absolutely agree about timing.

Especially about not forcing new books on children.<br /><br />Sometimes it is not the book, but the timing. <br /><br />The very same book that is rejected today, could be come a favorite tomorrow.<br /><br />Read Aloud DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
