It's Hard to be Five looks awful. I'm pretty against any book that suggests new ways to misbehave for my kids - they're plenty good at it by themselves. Curious George requires some skimming before reading for that reason.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-42348805229968598952016-08-25T18:09:37.368-05:002016-08-25T18:09:37.368-05:00I really need to get on adding some Merton into my...I really need to get on adding some Merton into my reading rotation.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-6955099439715374062016-08-25T17:37:57.272-05:002016-08-25T17:37:57.272-05:00I love that you added the questions for next week ...I love that you added the questions for next week too! I didn't think of doing that! lol I have also been lucky enough not to come across the Goodnight Gorilla book. I have to recommend staying away from It's Hard to be Five too!

That drinking book looks awesome, and the book on deaconesses is probably really fascinating (and helpful, so that you can offer a historical explanation of deaconesses to people that try and use them as a reason for why we should have female priests). <br />Currently, I'm reading The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton, which is awesome and I love. I don't really have a kids book I can think of that I wish would disappear; I really like our collection and can't think of any that annoy me a bunch (I guess some Berenstain bears books?). Oh, I had so many favorite books when I was little! Little House on the Prairie books probably hit the top of the list, though.

It's the only way those two could possibly be raising those kids. <br />And by the grace of God. Like a vat of it. Vat of Grace!

Runa...Children's books that need to disappear:<br /><br />Runaway Bunny. It's like, okay kid, what's the next scenario you want to muse upon? Stabbing your mother in the heart with the very knife she uses to lovingly cut your sandwich into heart and star shapes every day? My heart is going to collapse in on itself if you fantasize about one more way to get away from your saint of a mother.<br /><br />Much better version:<br /><br />I Love You Stinky Face by Lisa McCourt. Big hit with the boys, similar messaging of "I'll always love you," but funny and far less cruel.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645598560693062503noreply@blogger.com
