This Book Was Blue, When I Owned It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, my last post reminded me that, sometime, I have to tell you more about the Kramers. They were quite a story, and so were their daughters, Judy and Joy. I wonder where they are, today? I have no idea. Dotty and Don, sadly, are gone.
This book my mother actually brought me, though I recall my cover being blue. I had all sorts of these books, plus Scrabble, and Scribbage, lying around the house, so I was a "wordy" child. Reading was second nature to me. And, I swear, some of it was by osmosis, because, in lots of cases, especially when younger, I would use these books as coloring books, as well. I would color in the pictures, while unconsciously absorbing what was being taught.
How I ended up in the public system is something I had nothing to do with.
By first grade, I realized--man, these cats are just too dumb for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love those cloth-covered vintage schoolbooks!!

ReplyDeleteI do, too. I wish
I had hung on to them,
or could find some of them
When in antique stores or
used books shops, I do look.
eBay! They're not even that expensive!!
