Last night or this morning, my daughter proudly handed me her 3-chapter-books Arthur book, having finished all 187 pages of it. I had promised her another hardback from Borders when she finished that one, so off we went.
She
didn't want another Arthur one right away, and wasn't terribly
interested in the Magic Treehouse or Little Genie ones. We looked over
some hardback compilations of children's books by Richard Scarry and the
like. She declared the "charming stories for little girls" volume to be
"too heavy." And we couldn't figure out where the Encyclopedia Brown
books were.
Just
as we were running out of time, she spotted a display with "deluxe"
hardbacks of The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, and The Secret Garden. Each
book had a little girl's necklace shrink-wrapped with it. So... she now
has a necklace a little pendant of ruby red slippers, and the logical
book. And she says she wants The Secret Garden, with its key pendant,
next. But a non-illustrated edition of The Wizard of Oz should keep her
occupied for a little while.
