Recently I mailed this little book to Ava with some doll dresses I made for her. She loves princesses and princess stories. I thought she would like this book as much as I had.
My mom rarely bought us books. We visited the library weekly and I checked out a stack of books each time we went.
I think there was a sale on Golden Books and so mom bought each of us three or four books. As you can see this one was only 25 cents but our weekly groceries were about $10.
Below you can see my 3rd grade penmanship. I was just learning cursive. I changed schools the summer after 2nd grade and remember that I was very anxious to learn cursive. I was afraid that
I would be behind the others if they had learned it in 2nd grade since I had not.
One day I will share the other books with Liam, David, and baby boy Cate. (His name has not been chosen as I write this.) I read my special Golden Books so many times. I could probably recite them today. We forget that re-reading favorite stories is an important part of building reading ability.
I hope Ava enjoys this book as much as I did sixty plus years ago.
Share your love of books with those you love.
