I forgot to post about my new Oz find. I went by the BMV last night to pick up some more kids books to read while tutoring. Most of my books that are aimed at younger kids are packed away at my parents' house. So I was browsing the kids section and found the Robert Sabuda Wizard of Oz pop up book (this one) that Andrea had mentioned when I last posted about finding Oz books. It's the first one of these books that I've seen second hand that hasn't been destroyed. It was in perfect condition, some of the pages I don't think were ever opened!

I also found this book of children's poetry which I bought because it was just so cute :)

I really shoudn't be allowed to go to the bookstore lol. On the plus side I did find some great books to read with kids when I tutor.

Thinking of books and book shopping.... are you doing anything on Sunday? I'll be passing through TO, and thought maybe we could get together ^__^

:) It just so happens that I'm free on Sunday. I don't think I have a tutoring session and if I end up being scheduled for one I'll be done before noon.

What time are you coming through through the city?

Oooohhhhhh..... so shiny ........

This is really shiny... really some of it is shiny like the Tin Woodman and Dorothy's shoes ;) It's definitely art work using pop up.

Sadly, it's hard to find artwork that good and detailed anymore.

For sure, a lot of children's books just have rushed art, but there are good ones out there, it just takes a lot of looking to find them.

I'm going to write an Oz book just to find an illustrator who can do Neil's style!

Awesome! I support that goal!

I'll put it on the novel idea list! That would bring me up to number, say, 372.
