As I mentioned yesterday, the house is now full! Grandchild #3 is now here, tagging along after the teen-age pair. But this morning, the dotter and I took her over to the library to meet Tippy in person (she's had a letter with pictures of the various persona that Tippy has worn over the year). Doggone, she was disappointed. She expected Tippy to be much bigger! Maybe like the dinos she met out Iron Springs Road a couple of years ago. That's what comes of cropping in on one's pictures -- the subject looks bigger than life! Now I happened to like Rodeo Tippy, ready for a week of big doings.
On the other hand, the Blue Hair Challenge caught her imagination. The idea is that if 1000 kids/teens sign up to read 15 minutes per day every day until the end of July, the children's librarians will show up in blue hair at the final day celebration. She signed up, even though she won't be here for the finale. (FYI, the Challenge is already over-subscribed.)
And then proceeded to do her 15-minute read.
Next, I just had to show off the horney toad and the lion. I think the lion was a bigger hit with the dotter than with the GD.
On the other hand, the little bronze girl in the garden really scored. FYI, she reports that there were no words in that book, just lines running across the pages.

A lot of the fun visiting the library must be observing the children's librarians so obviously enjoying their jobs!
ReplyDeleteMelanie -- after watching the children's librarians for a few minutes, you realize that if ever there was a cool job, that's it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the last 2 photos!
