Last Year's Advent Post Recycled

Last year, I wrote a lengthy post about our Christmas books, secular and religious.

Rather than re-write that bad boy, I'm just going to link to it, again and again, and add a little post-script.

That's Not My Donkey by Fiona Watts never went in the tub or to the basement.  It stayed in action the whole year through.  Ask Baby J, "What does the donkey say?"  and she will reply, "Who-Hee."  It's a work in progress, but she looooves that book.

Also, I wrote about this book in my poetry post here, but I cannot say enough about Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, illustrated by Susan Jeffers.  If you add one book to your winter library, this is the one to get.

In other news, my dear friends at the public library are probably muttering my name under the breath with other words that are not very nice because I went requested nearly every book that the other Jessica, at Shower of Roses has in her sidebar and in her St. Nicholas post that I didn't already own.  All or nothing.  The War Game book looks very promising.  I have to go clean off the holds shelf now or they may revoke my card.
