I wanted to give that librarian the business. But since she was a cranky old thing 40 years ago, I assume the only business she's up for involves either bed pans or a funeral director. Either way, I'm not your girl. But I'm glad you finally made peace with Amelia Bedelia. I plan to go check out the King book with my daughter.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543007052080049659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-53261134398467513662011-07-26T11:15:38.178-06:002011-07-26T11:15:38.178-06:00Oh books!

However, at Hallsville Elementary we had the Goddess of all Librarians: Mrs. White. She was sugar and spice and everything nice. Maybe you could become a librarian and be nice to kids to make up for the terrible crotchety hag you encountered? AND, books! You'd get to play with books! All. Day. Long. <br /><br />Why Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334271211867017682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-85749840920014628892011-07-26T08:06:55.596-06:002011-07-26T08:06:55.596-06:00Well, at least now I know that someone else has a ...Well, at least now I know that someone else has a terrible librarian!

More importantly, I would like to find that librarian and punch her in the neck (and I don't really care for AB, either.

The only one of the books...Pie fixes everything. <br /><br />The only one of the books you mention that I've read is Where the Sidewalk Ends. I used to love that book. I should see if I can check it out of the library here. If they even have it.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03194548327859951452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-5267548301230747802011-07-24T17:46:04.101-06:002011-07-24T17:46:04.101-06:00Oh my gosh!!!

Especially Amelia Bedilia and her brilliance in pie-making! Love The King Who Rained and Tiki Tiki Tembo, and the lessons you learned from them. Completely agree that funny poetry found in Where the Sidewalk Ends and other Shel Silverstein books is better Laenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955406779571623288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-60711044053481278722011-07-24T15:55:22.144-06:002011-07-24T15:55:22.144-06:00I was lucky to have a wonderful librarian, Mrs. Ma...I was lucky to have a wonderful librarian, Mrs. Marshall. In 3rd grade I was reading Anne McCaffrey and the like. She would order new books just for me and pulled books out of the back room that hadn't been checked out in ages. I'm glad you overcame the ogre and kept on reading and sharing with us.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577889556603034584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699453181053820154.post-32903663702535266852011-07-24T15:43:33.743-06:002011-07-24T15:43:33.743-06:00First library book I ever checked out (in First Gr...First library book I ever checked out (in First Grade) was a day overdue.
