I saw this encyclopedia of animals, and I just had to buy it for Donny. I realize it will be a while before he can appreciate it, but I bought it for sentimental reasons. When I was in 4th grade, I went to the grocery store with my mom, and there were tables set up outside the store filled with books. My mom bought me a book about all of the animals-that was in 1982, and I still have the book. (The paragraph about seahorses, and how the males carry the offspring is highlighted in orange. I still use the book as a reference when I have an animal-related inquiry.) As you can see, I immediately subtitled the book "A Zoo of Pictures", and added bars to the picture to represent a zoo. I did that in 1982, and I am impressed with that subtitle today. I am also impressed by my 4th grade creativity and aesthetic sense, adding the bars to the picture. It doesn't seem necessary to tell you that I am a book lover, and always have been. That purchase of the animal book outside of the grocery store is completely vivid to me. I am so glad my mom encouraged my love for reading. I really hope to do the same for Donny. I hope he will love his encyclopedia of animals, and maybe even keep it for 30 years, and pass it on to his children.
