June 2: Letter Book

Day 23

My best friend visited me earlier in May and we hit the thrift store together. While pouring through the children's books, I stumbled on a blank Letter Book. I have fond memories of letter books. During the course of my Kindergarten career, I worked my way through all 26 letters of the alphabet using these books. Maybe it's because my best friend and I were in the same kindergarten class or because there are two "e"s in Peter, but I purchased the book. Bad decision. The book is floppy, doesn't fit on any bookshelf and is really out of context without the other 25 books in the series. Do I really expect Peter to complete this letter book in his free time at home when he's in Kindergarten? A better question: Do I really see myself holding on to this book for five more years? No way.

This elephant is on his way back to the thrift store!

If this had been Letter Book "S" I definitely would have kept it for the awesome "Scratch n Sniff" portion of that book, which was legendary. I can smell that pickle and that rose still!
