Well one year later here I am! I can’t believe i haven’t blogged for all of 2017. I must do better next year! This Christmas carol pop-up book os so cool. I love these illustrations by the Johnstones. Click on the tabs on the side of the blog for more Johnstones illustrations and books by Deans publishing. I picked up this book for a quarter! Sometimes I find books that are a treasure to me at used book sales.
Happy holidays to everyone and a happy 2018! I am looking forward to time with family and friends, special music at church for Christmas Eve, and driving to look at special Christmas light displays.

I love the cool illustrations in this Golden Book illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen. They were a husband and wife team that illustrated around 40 books together. The First Noel was published in 1959.
I'm mooooostly ready for Christmas, how about you? We have SO much snow compared to last year. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Eve service at our church. They always have cool crafts and yummy snacks out for the kids, and I always love the music. During the holidays I'm hoping to take my older 2 girls to a couple movies and to do lots of visiting with family and friends. Happy holidays everyone!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Check out this amazing coffee table book that I borrowed from the library - The Hanna Barbera Treasury! Many of us have happy memories of watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons, back when "Saturday morning cartoons" was still a thing. I am trying to make more of an effort to show my kids some of my favourites from childhood - thank goodness for YouTube! Which Hanna- Barbera show or character was your favourite?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was so excited to find the book-and-record version of It's a Small World, although without the record, not that it matters since I don't have a record player anyway! I'm pretty sure I remember having this as a kid. I would love to take my kids to see the ride at Disney one day. The amazing Mary Blair designed the look of the Small World ride. Sorry for the sideways pictures at the bottom - I'm using BlogPad Pro for IPad and I can't for the life of me figure out how to rotate them. </div>

Hi everyone! Check out these wonderful illustrations by Art Seiden in the book Animal Babies, published by Whitman. I love when I find these big oversize books. Life has been busy here with my 3 daughters, one of whom has special needs, and my poor blog has been neglected. I am hoping to do a bit better with that ! It is coming up on my 4 year blog-o-versary. I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful springtime - ours was late to really arrive but is finally shaping up nicely.

Look at this sweet Strawberry Shortcake book I found in the library discards! Are you feeling like winter will never end? We'll see what the groundhog says in a few days. We've been lucky so far we haven't had a ton of snow to shovel. One of these days I shall have to do a post with some pics of my youngest daughter's first birthday last year - did a Strawberry Shortcake theme. </div>

Little angels Pigtails, Crewcut, and Touslehead argue over who has polished his or her star the shiniest. Touslehead has given up hope of his star ever shining until he realizes that it is the Christmas Star that has helped the Wise Men find baby Jesus. There is even a children's musical based on this book. Christmas is coming quickly and my 3 little girls are looking forward to it. Although I think they would like for there to be snow, which we have only had a dusting of so far.

How was everyone's summer? We had a nice summer but I am definitely ready for the girls to go back to school, and they are definitely ready to go back too! Keira will be in grade 4 and Tegan will be in junior kindergarten 3 days a week. Then it will be just Brielle and I at home on those days. Keira and I recently read The Secret Garden. We had a different copy than this one when we read it but when I saw this Tasha Tudor illustrated copy in the used book sale area at the library I snapped it up,for 50 cents. Keira is 8 years old, almost 9, and I still read aloud to her every night. She is an excellent reader all on her own but I am hoping to read to her or have her read to me as long as she'll let me. I love experiencing these special books with her. The Secret Garden was a bit of a tough read-aloud, what with the accents and all, but we enjoyed it. I especially enjoy the theme of Magic in Frances Hodgson Burnett's novels - we recently read A Little Princess too. </div><br></div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-26595038040618027332015-06-16T21:21:00.000-04:002015-06-16T21:21:38.500-04:00Bed knobs and BroomsticksMy blog is 3 years old this month! I did a lot more blog posts in the first year of blogging and I hope I can start to blog a little more often than I have this year so far! Almost all of my blog posts have been about books that I own, but this one is not. I found this Little Golden Boom of Bedknobs and Broomsticks at a children's indoor play centre a few months ago. It was in a basket in their reading area, and hopefully I did not weird anyone out as I sat there taking pictures of the book! I love the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks and watched it with my oldest daughter for the first time a few months back. Anyone else like Disney movies that are a little more obscure? <br />

As I flip through it, it gives off that lovely 'old book' smell. I love the character Mary's doll collection from around the world and also the doll that looks just like her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> My daughters have never really been into dolls that much. These days they play with stuffed animals , My Little Ponies, Lego, Playmobil, etc. Tegan just turned 4 and had her Lightning McQueen themed party . Why do they only market that to boys, by the way?? So annoying ! Tegan is also drawing (scribbling) and doing stickers like crazy these days. Keira , age 8, is busy with reading (lots of the How to Train Your Dragon series lately ), Minecraft, and practising violin. And Brielle , my 1 year old? Well she basically makes messes all day long ! It's Victoria Day weekend here in Canada and I'm hoping the fireworks don't wake any of my 3 kids up! </div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-40018201708804362322015-04-06T21:23:00.001-04:002015-04-07T23:22:15.409-04:00The Golden Egg Book<div><br></div>Happy belated Easter! Look at this beautiful Big Little Golden Book - The Golden Egg Book, by Margaret Wise Brown! Leonard Weisgard's illustrations are amazing ! Easter didn't feel very Easter-y for us since it was snowing as we ate our dinner! But we had a great time throughout the weekend with family and friends. My girls were so excited to hunt for their eggs. My almost 4 year old thinks she has a handle on the situation- "Chickens poop Easter eggs."<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvtGMTPbz0JTtyFRrrmBhOgsE2bmmkm7aGSVdE9v_YvRJ86ru9KfdMbcwomspa-wanEvAzZ1EcVzvlpUMkQEd9Rg9PyBfl8gWlSdzbH3D5mvOOu_69qfCNezCLTjFANh0GYnZym4Hk1s/s640/blogger-image--23481112.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUvtGMTPbz0JTtyFRrrmBhOgsE2bmmkm7aGSVdE9v_YvRJ86ru9KfdMbcwomspa-wanEvAzZ1EcVzvlpUMkQEd9Rg9PyBfl8gWlSdzbH3D5mvOOu_69qfCNezCLTjFANh0GYnZym4Hk1s/s640/blogger-image--23481112.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzk9PIfbQdUtAcpfMX8QYUlWHYsrJ1P7-nsTy7t14DXjjGli9FsnnlYhz5NC0fWTj0Z6Fohg9zVX0aVRVTiVgISZ4mQFkyhWcSsk959nsfTYozBgeONpQlQwy-zwK3MBS76rSC1w9st8/s640/blogger-image--499803321.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzk9PIfbQdUtAcpfMX8QYUlWHYsrJ1P7-nsTy7t14DXjjGli9FsnnlYhz5NC0fWTj0Z6Fohg9zVX0aVRVTiVgISZ4mQFkyhWcSsk959nsfTYozBgeONpQlQwy-zwK3MBS76rSC1w9st8/s640/blogger-image--499803321.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCsejXexLDYMt2L7mpWrP6KQww_MfZKEK6-5dBucEu2_lqg1QvVXNjiVYWQnfRPtbCdAaAj3bfcTHtKJM6EpChtFMPUchfgW1-W4X9bWbtVGUJ_az7LGAvWeh7e41LlcnNDu5dq87T7JA/s640/blogger-image-1322152446.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCsejXexLDYMt2L7mpWrP6KQww_MfZKEK6-5dBucEu2_lqg1QvVXNjiVYWQnfRPtbCdAaAj3bfcTHtKJM6EpChtFMPUchfgW1-W4X9bWbtVGUJ_az7LGAvWeh7e41LlcnNDu5dq87T7JA/s640/blogger-image-1322152446.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-dry7gx482AP9HKcb1DTWq4uAS_y6zXzxMs24mF6mYcHEPXpep8TjbKKMXAhrHQ1-iJvrKnFldfUAqPLbQaNt5G2SaYmYJAPAqV3-5OdRgVqVzKN4PdJPLgOWO3Bavw0p_FNkNQFtPM/s640/blogger-image--1018503298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT-dry7gx482AP9HKcb1DTWq4uAS_y6zXzxMs24mF6mYcHEPXpep8TjbKKMXAhrHQ1-iJvrKnFldfUAqPLbQaNt5G2SaYmYJAPAqV3-5OdRgVqVzKN4PdJPLgOWO3Bavw0p_FNkNQFtPM/s640/blogger-image--1018503298.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwS2G5s0sD0Kn-q8QhYcoFsMpL3L924vHdDakM8dSYj-io6_Mx6qQed6dsuPFK8LuTyW1M7YdRAj8opeE9Sr-6yRH4haN2NU7vZJpnJeGLMMmCFIb08VZO39ymFbe2wRr_0hu_WSVXO0Y/s640/blogger-image-1537376496.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwS2G5s0sD0Kn-q8QhYcoFsMpL3L924vHdDakM8dSYj-io6_Mx6qQed6dsuPFK8LuTyW1M7YdRAj8opeE9Sr-6yRH4haN2NU7vZJpnJeGLMMmCFIb08VZO39ymFbe2wRr_0hu_WSVXO0Y/s640/blogger-image-1537376496.jpg"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoTc3wcVPK2AON9EzMcj0AUUsZiLVMzv-rWCcod_RAaUijJysML-ughih5D6hzcUU1v9iqGFawkVuwtOOhe2VpT_AfkGit_p28vcY7dFOugZEbEIOePIYSiBlrjbBobVL2M8P8EsP6gc/s640/blogger-image-1602524906.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWoTc3wcVPK2AON9EzMcj0AUUsZiLVMzv-rWCcod_RAaUijJysML-ughih5D6hzcUU1v9iqGFawkVuwtOOhe2VpT_AfkGit_p28vcY7dFOugZEbEIOePIYSiBlrjbBobVL2M8P8EsP6gc/s640/blogger-image-1602524906.jpg"></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-83226627856506001652015-02-01T23:11:00.001-05:002015-02-01T23:15:45.043-05:00Retro TV and Toys for the Very Young- Cabbage Patch Dolls<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hi! My old computer died and I am trying to get the hang of doing things on my new IPad, including using the Blogger app. I haven't done a Retro TV and toys post for a super long time and I'm hoping to get back in the habit of doing these types of posts every so often! Here is a picture of my Cabbage Patch doll, Fern. I got her in 1985 during the Cabbage Patch craze years. Remember the stories about people fighting over these dolls at the malls? My doll's real name is Gretchen Fernanda. That's what it said on her adoption certificate. I cried and cried when I saw the name, I thought it was so horrible! Thankfully my mom saved the day and suggested "Fern" for short- cute, and it's the name of the little girl in the book "Charlotte's Web". Do any of you still have your Cabbage Patches?</span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtc2eKxNx3bbYWWgVNonY4404nB0alXffm2UZDfvXzrg97aKRB-LPQmM7Tzi9n9ZDxYEdHcaAJC6hWt4HSTIHe3uGYs-VhkJBNXa4kOxoqUsJQHdLHTwWbvPymkf0xhyphenhyphenblIzBxVQ4TlbE/s640/blogger-image-1405127123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtc2eKxNx3bbYWWgVNonY4404nB0alXffm2UZDfvXzrg97aKRB-LPQmM7Tzi9n9ZDxYEdHcaAJC6hWt4HSTIHe3uGYs-VhkJBNXa4kOxoqUsJQHdLHTwWbvPymkf0xhyphenhyphenblIzBxVQ4TlbE/s640/blogger-image-1405127123.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388724101538494527.post-78892176654021739352014-12-27T23:28:00.002-05:002014-12-27T23:28:23.360-05:00ABC is for Christmas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How is everyone's Christmas holidays going? I just love the gorgeous illustrations in this Little Golden Book, ABC is for Christmas, written by Jane Werner Watson and illustrated by Sally Augustiny. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a nice Christmas Day in spite of my husband and 2 older daughters being quite sick with a bad cough and fever. Now my husband is getting a bit better but now the baby has it. Not good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a green Christmas this year, it's been a few years since that happened, and my 8 year old is disappointed that it doesn't look very Christmas-y outside. At least we have electricity! Last year's ice storm threw everyone in our area for a loop last year in the week leading up to Christmas. At my house we were ok as we were only out of power for 13 hours. But many people we know had it a lot worse! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the week coming up I am looking forward to more get-togethers with family and friends. My husband has the week off work so I will have help with the kids all week, yay! Thank goodness as it would have been hard to manage all these sick kids without his help! See you in the New Year, everyone!</div>

More of Eloise Wilkin's wonderful work for you today - We Help Daddy - I have a tiny as well as regular size version, and We Like Kindergarten. I feel like We Help Daddy is a good reminder to me to try to let the kids 'help' when we can, even if it slows us down. My 8 year old has become a good helper with her younger 2 sisters. She does not like doing chores but she does like to do special jobs like helping to bake a cake. We Like Kindergarten brought back a few special memories of my own kindergarten class - I remember the classroom had an upstairs loft - how cool is that! I vaguely remember being Mary in the Christmas play and being cheerily competitive with a little boy in the class over who was the best reader - we were the only 2 in the class who could read already. I even have a sweet picture of me and a few friends at a sleepover and I am reading a bedtime story to everyone while we are cozied up in our pajamas.</div>

Hellooooo! I have really neglected my poor blog terribly lately. I have 3 adorable board books illustrated by Gyo Fujikawa today - Can You Count? , Sleepy Time, and Let's Play. It's hard to decide what's cuter - Gyo's illustrations of animals, or children. Things here are busy as usual with my own children - my oldest daughter recently turned 8 and my youngest is about to turn 1 so I've been drowning in party planning. My middle daughter started pre-school this fall and has really been enjoying it. And my oldest started taking violin lessons - she wants to learn fiddle style and to play like Natalie McMaster. :) We had a fun Halloween - Keira dressed up as Venus, the goddess of love and happiness, Tegan was Lightning McQueen (from the movie Cars) and Brielle was SuperGirl. </div>

2 gorgeous Big Golden books for you today, illustrated by Garth Williams and Feodor Rojankovsky. Both of these books were published in the early 1950's. I especially like the horse picture. When I was growing up my grandparents had Arabian horses. I read all kinds of horse books and now my 7 year old is starting to do the same. We're getting ready for back-to-school here this weekend. It has been a nice summer. A lot cooler here than the previous few summers. My oldest is starting grade 3 and my 3 year old will be going to preschool a few mornings a week. </div>

More gorgeous illustrations from Eloise Wilkin for you today- Baby Listens, and Mother Goose. My own baby is doing well - she is 9 months old now. She is full of smiles and wiggles. Teething like crazy but nothing has come through yet. She really seems to like people and new faces. And my beautiful big girls are 7 and 3. We're having a nice summer together - it goes by so fast as always. These days my oldest daughter is into Lego, Minecraft, reading, drawing, and learning about horses. My middle daughter is into Lightning McQueen/Cars, the Fresh Beat Band, swimming lessons, and Play-Doh.<br />

I found The Busy Busy World of Richard Scarry at the library recently - what a cool book! </div>
The pictures I've included here are of books of Scarry's that I had not seen before. As many of you know, Richard Scarry's work is very extensive! I really wish I could buy some vintage Busytown toys - they have a lot of cute stuff on Etsy and Ebay - but it is always so expensive when you include the shipping costs. Isn't it so fun to see the covers of Richard Scarry's books in other languages?

A first for my blog - a vintage comic book! This one is my husband's- from 1978! He was and is a big Star Wars fan. He was a big comic book fan too and still has a lot of his comic books. I never saw the Star Wars movies as a kid but I do remember watching the tv cartoon spin-off called Droids - watch the clip here. I also love this clip of C3PO and R2D2 visiting Sesame Street. </div>

Happy Blog-i-versary to me! This month makes 2 years of blogging! I love writing this blog and sharing fun things with my readers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Disney's version of Robin Hood is one of my favourite childhood movies. So when I saw this book-on-tape at a book sale a few weeks ago I snapped it up. (Don't get in my way when I'm at a used book sale, man. I'm on a mission! Haha!) I saw that Robin Hood is on Netflix now so I want to watch it soon with my daughters. It's such a cute movie and the songs are catchy. Recently my 7 year old and I were talking about something or other and it came up that she didn't know what a cassette tape is. She thought it was a VHS tape (probably should be impressed she even knows what that is!). But then when I showed her a cassette tape later she did remember seeing one before. Wow, I guess they are archaic now! I remember as a kid I would listen to books on tape on my headphones as I was lying in bed before going to sleep. Or when I got a bit older I would listen to songs that were taped off the radio. Remember trying to quickly tape a song off the radio when it came on? You would sit there and listen until it came on just so you could hear your favourite? </div>

I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with the Mr. Men and Little Miss books by Roger Hargreaves. The first few of these books were published in 1971. Check out this adorable comic book of Little Miss Sunshine - Here Comes the Sun. So fun! And have a look at the official website. <a href="http://www.mrmen.com/">www.mrmen.com</a> for the cutest t-shirts and pajama sets as well as other merchandise.</div>

Miroslav Sasek was born in the Czech Republic and wrote and illustrated the This Is series of children's books, including This is London, This is Paris, This is New York, This is Rome, This is San Francisco, This is Greece, This is the Way to the Moon, many more, and featured here, This is Australia. Isn't that cover just the coolest?! I have only done travelling in Canada and the United States and would like to visit more countries one day. My parents had a great trip to Australia years ago. When I was teaching my grade 2 class we always studied a unit about Australia every year and had a lot of fun with it. We would have an Australian Christmas party and I played songs about Australia on my guitar and we dressed as if it was warm weather and ate pavlova, it was great.</div>

Get ready to be wowed! How much do you love these comic-style Pippi books?! Here we have Pippi Moves In and Pippi Fixes Everything. They were illustrated by Ingrid Vang Nyman in the 1950's. I was so excited to buy these re-issues for my daughter! Apparently there will be one more volume to come! It is the first time they have been published in English. These stories were originally published in Sweden's Humpty Dumpty magazine about a decade after the original books were published. <br />
<br />
My daughter Keira and I have been enjoying reading all the Pippi books together as well as these comic books. We have also watched the Swedish movies subtitled in English as well as The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking, from the 80's, and a newer cartoon version on dvd that she got for Easter as well. Pippi is the best! <br />
<br />
Sometimes when I read Pippi I like to think of my Swedish great-grandmother. I was lucky enough to have her around til I was a young adult, and she was 94 years old when she passed away. She had some similarities to Pippi - Swedish, lived in an old house by herself, and had a bit of a mischievous streak. :) Like Pippi, she was also very independent. She immigrated to Canada from Sweden all by herself when she was a young woman! Who did that back then?? Very brave!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6
