It's that time of year again when they send those lovely little Scholastic catalogs home with the children. Now to be perfectly honest, in the four years that my daughter has been attending school this is the first time I have actually ordered any books. Don't get me wrong, I love books, I buy books, but the truth of the matter is that I am frugal. Okay, okay I will say it; I am the Queen of CHEAP!
But this year they had some dollar selections which is a price right up my alley. I bought two books for Emily. I bought the classic
Charlotte's Web and a National Geographic book called
Dog Finds Lost Dolphins. I know, who could resist
Charlotte's Web for a dollar; and Emily loves dogs so any book involving one of those great animals is sure to please.
Emily hasn't started reading
Charlotte's Web yet, but she has seen the equally famous movie; so I can't wait to see what she thinks of the book. As a child I always loved to compare books and movies and I'm pretty sure the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree where she is concerned.
Since neither of us have read
Dog Finds Lost Dolphins, it will be fun to explore this book together. And since it is a true story, it should be even more exciting then usual. So what great book bargains have you found lately? As the Queen of Cheapness, I not only love to get a bargain, I love to hear about other people's bargains as well.
Signing off for now with wishes for a bright and beautiful day!
