There is nothing like the stomach flu to give occasion for our family to aquaint themselves with their new books. Thankfully, we received many welcome editions this Christmas, which are sure to console us through the next 24 to 48 hours.
One book that we received was Great Children’s Stories, which Rahime gave to her nephew. Si was reading it to the children before bed tonight. It contains all the timeless old stories that, only a few years ago, were hard to find outside of the Disnified versions. The editor took the time to make sure that many of the words were beautiful, even though it is easy for a child to read alone. Here is my favorite line so far {from The Bremen Town Musicians}:
Soon they came upon a cat sitting by the road, making a face like three rainy days.
