I think kids miss out on things without having the tactile feeling of a book like that.Jill of All Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075357751662738806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-25444541046832822072012-06-30T19:14:07.493-05:002012-06-30T19:14:07.493-05:00I used to love looking through my grandmother'...I used to love looking through my grandmother's encyclopedias.

I don't remember what it was called, but the books each had a different pattern on the back. We would lay out those books and build houses with blocks on them. The pattern on the book was the floor of the house. Oh, we used them for homework, too.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-65296166045840737732012-06-30T01:04:21.594-05:002012-06-30T01:04:21.594-05:00We got our big Webster dictionary by section with ...We got our big Webster dictionary by section with pink stamps from the store and a set of encyclopedias as well from the grocery store, one volume at a time.<br />I think good things are worth waiting for and it gave you a chance to really read the book.A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-59705467192906695322012-06-29T23:31:43.561-05:002012-06-29T23:31:43.561-05:00I remember in the 4th grade I began longing and wi...I remember in the 4th grade I began longing and wishing for our very own set of World Book. When I was in the sixth grade my parents were able to get a set. My brother was in the 11th grade and I my little brother and sister were in the lower elementary grades. My best friend read the entire set of World Book Encyclopedias the summer before our ninth grade year. I never met anyone else who had done that until I met my wife who told me she had done the same thing!Charles Kinnairdhttp://notdarkyet-commentary.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
