Beloved Children’s Books

I just got an interesting book called The Tao and Mother Goose, which more than anything about its philosophy has reminded me of how much I love some of my old children’s books.
So, what are your favorite children’s books that you remember?

For me, Harold and the Purple Crayon tops the list… I also love all the Land of Oz books. I seem to recall liking a whole lot of Dr. Seuss, too. Oh! I almost forgot about No Such Things, which would have been a shame.

You’re all soul-less husks of human beings, apparaently, with no cherished childhood memories.

Somehow, I’m not surprised.

Well, that’s one way to encourage people to comment :-P

Some childhood books off the top of my head: “The Boxcar Children”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0807508527/qid=1097187834/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_2_1/103-4209993-9170204 series and the “Frog and Toad”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0064440583/qid=1097187933/sr=2-3/ref=pd_ka_2_3/103-4209993-9170204 series. That’s all I can think of for now.

Now you should go harass people about commenting more on the posts “The Quote of the Day” and “My employer is so good to me,” which both only received one comment each…

Free Rice

Okay, I’ll admit that it’s entirely possible that I am the last person to learn about this website*, but it’s really addictive.  It’s a game that tests your vocabulary.  Each time you get a word’s meaning correct, 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Program.  So, give Free Rice a whirl.  I bet you’ll have fun and you’ll get to help make strides toward ending hunger.

 *I heard about it forever ago, I just never actually looked at it.

Security Cam Music Video

This band decided they didn’t have money to make a video, so they set up in public places in view of security cameras, then asked to get the footage from the people.

Pretty cool results, though a little creepy to think how much these cameras are around.

A news story about it is here

Some Frogs and Toads are just weird…

Thanks to one of my favorites blogs, Zooillogix, I recently got to see toads giving live birth from their back and frogs without lungs. I must say, amphibians are weird! But do those frogs really count as amphibians…? And honestly, those toads gross me out a bit — and that’s hard for biology to do to me!
