I want to tell you more about one of the books we found at the thrift store on Saturday. Christina Katerina and the Box.
This is a really, really cute book! I read it to Princess of the Universe on Saturday night. It’s not the kind of book that I would try and build a unit study around. Well, maybe for a younger student, and including topics like having manners with friends, recycling, creativity, etc.
It’s just a sweet book about children playing — really playing using their imaginations and a cardboard box. It reminds me of the way my sister and I played when we were little. Also, if you grew up playing with any annoying neighborhood boys, you might have a rush of memories when you read about the antics of Fats Watson. 
My daughter enjoyed the book. I enjoyed it! I think it’s worth having on the bookshelf!

As an aside, my on-site job training is nearly done. Yaay! I’ll be home soon, full time. I’m really enjoying my new job!
Happy Monday,

my children LOVE this book! Even my 9yo son likes it!
It is SO cute! My daughter is 9 — the one I read it to on Saturday evening. Well, I liked it too.

What a cute sounding story – I love it when children improvise with found objects – store bought toys can be so awful!
So glad your new job training is going well and that you already know will enjoy the work Lynn. You always sound so cheerful though – do you never have a bad day, lol!!!?
I’m glad I sound cheerful. I really try! I do have bad days, though. Mostly self-inflicted due to human nature.
I’m glad you stopped by!
