An Unexpected Gift

Years ago, I got a nice surprise at my local library. It happened when I found a paperback copy of Lois Lenski's "Prairie School" in the children's room. Unfortunately, at least it seemed unfortunate at the time, the book had no front cover, and there were no other copies available.
I went to check out my books. The librarian said that they would have to discard that copy of "Prairie School," and she gave it to me for free.
"Oh, thank you very much," I said.
I took the book home, and covered the front with several layers of strong tape, the kind
of tape that looks like paper.
I still have the book, and plan to re-read it in the not-too-distant future.

A Review I'd Like To Share

This is one of the most insightful book reviews I've ever come across.
Amy Moves In is one of my favorite books. The hardcover original is best; there are
some annoying, unnecessary changes in the paperback edition.
I will blog about those changes in a future post.
