A helpful tool and guide to think through important stuff and to gather information others will need when you're no longer around to provide.

First sentence: sun rises
eyes open
what does baby see?
bottle

flower
apple
clouds floating
raindrops dripping
what does baby hear?

Premise/plot: This is a high contrast (black and white) board book for very small ones. It has four "parts." First, what does baby see. Second, what does baby hear. Third, who does baby see. Fourth, what does baby dream. (One thing that baby will not see in this board book is capital letters.)

My thoughts: What you see is what you get. Everything is black-and-white, high contrast. Each page has a few words--most just one word, a few have a sentence (for example, what does baby see?) This is a concept book--of sorts. (Concept books typically do shapes, colors, numbers, letters, opposites, etc.) This "concept book" is more selling an experience--encouraging parents to hold little ones on their lap and read aloud to them at a very, very young age. It's about *that* experience--that bonding, that growing familiarity with reading time, that the book is selling, in my personal opinion.

Zen Buddhism An introduction to Zen with Stories, Parables and koan Riddles of the Zen Masters. Decorated with figures from old chinese ink-paintings.

The Worlds Best Limericks by Peter Paupper Press
Lots of categories and they are rhyming and so funny.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).½

Various anonymous limericks.

A Turk with the name of Haroun
Ate whisky by means of a spoon.
To one who asked why,
This Turk made reply:
"To drink is forbidden, you loon."

Soft leather journal with blank lined pages with gold edging and a golden ribbon placeholder. The paper is nice and thick. The lines on the pages are faint and not obtrusive. And it opens flat for ease of writing on both sides of the paper. I love it!
