They'd last all the way till dinner.<br /><br />I love that you have all the childrens books. I'm back to reading tutor world and the young girl I work with loves it when I read a story to her. I always try and sell the story and she now reads with inflection, which I'll take the credit for thank you very much. I alsolove the books and the illustrations.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-87167243781751553522021-11-22T10:09:05.840-07:002021-11-22T10:09:05.840-07:00Hi Angie, Happy Monday and have a good week

On Saturday morning we had this mixture to celebrate the day, because on Saturday night we became grandparents :-D<br />I think these costumed Halloween characters are really great!<br />How nice that you have such friendly neighbors - and can even get fresh eggs from them - and children's books! When I was younger, I also dreamed of writing children's books and novels for adults. (I actually wrote three books.) Unfortunately, it is difficult to find publishers in Austria, especially when you are unknown and have no contacts. Literary agents looking for a suitable publisher are a good idea, we haven't had something like this for long. I wrote to many publishers, but never found a suitable one.<br />As promised, you will receive my two posts from the last two weeks today. The first is an overview of some time in October and November with my self-crocheted baby blanket. The second post is a travelogue chapter from Italy and an update because my grandchild was born ... <br />Habe a great new week<br />Traude<br />https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2021/11/italien-reisebericht-ein-paar-kleine.htmlRostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232521537292473964.post-75757193135516820372021-11-22T06:16:31.763-07:002021-11-22T06:16:31.763-07:00I love children's books and have quite a colle...I love children's books and have quite a collection of them.
