The Monster At The End Of This Book

Of all of my books from when I was little, The Monster At The End Of This Book has always been my favorite. It is silly and sweet and I never got tired of reading it. I have thinned out my collection of books over the years but I still have my copy. It is taped and scribbled in but I will always treasure it.

Jackie is nearly six years older than me, so we weren't reading the same books as we grew up. Little did I know, The Monster At The End Of This Book was her favorite book, too! The copy I now have was originally hers. (Poor big sister - everything was eventually passed on to me.) Jackie loved the book so much, she was excited when she found a copy in an antique store. She bought it and gave it to Sam on Mother's Day.

To my absolute delight, Sam LOVES that book! We all got a turn reading it that day. It went to Colorado with us and he never got tired of hearing it. Sam and I have been up for two hours today. I have read it twice and Sam sat and read it to himself for nearly half an hour.

No matter how old - a good book is a good book!
