Screenings
Part of the joy of having a waiting room is screening kids’ books and toys for it. So, I have an excuse to wade into the children’s section of the bookstore! I haven’t found really engrossing children’s books for a long time, but a few weeks ago, I found one that actually wasn’t half bad!
The Giant Rat of Sumatra
by Sid Fleischman
I’m a sucker for a sailboat. Unfortunately, this book (although it has a ship on the cover) has hardly anything about sailing. And although the title contains Sumatra, the story doesn’t take place anywhere near Sumatra.
It’s still a nice book. It will go nicely in my waiting room.
