Minerva Louise, a silly chicken

One of my new favorite children books is that of Minerva Louise by Janet Morgan Stoeke. Sadly, it seems that not all are easily available, but they are WORTH looking for them. Minerva Louise and the Red Truck is the newest adventure of the little white hen. She has an adorable way of looking at things, taking them at face value, and not what humans think of as face value; what chickens think of as face value.

My favorite boy in the world, Xander, is my favorite Minerva Louise reading partner. His collection includes A Hat for Minerva Louise, and now Minerva Louise and the Red Truck.
how cute is that?
That was the first night he got it, and I read it to him once, his mom read it to him twice and his dad read it to him twice again. That is FIVE times total in one evening. Safe to say, Minerva Louise is a hit.

If you have not experienced her, in all her bird-brained glory, check her out. You won’t regret it!

Not book related at all

I am the proud parent to an 8 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Stewart. A fabulous dog, and we will be starting Canine Agility this summer! Very exciting.

Wanted to show you all a video of a friend who has a corgi. Oh it is priceless..

Stephenie Meyer day

First, you HAVE bought your copy of Host that went on sale today… right?
It is beautiful, and bigger than I thought. Going by the advance, I thought it would be a little thinner, but for $26.99 (ouch) it works for its thickness. It really was a great book, and has gotten some really good reviews.

Secondly, in the film version of Twilight. Reality is coming closer. And yes, you know where I will be on December 12th.
