I feel in love with the pictures first and the story second.

(It accidentally landed in a donation box during a move decades ago. Wherever it is today, I hope it's bringing some child the same joy it brought me.) Nancy and her sister (a twin, if I recall correctly) were "grown-ups" when I knew them, so we weren't close, but they kept a small play house in their backyard for the neighborhood kids to enjoy. I was entranced by the book, though I'm still no fan of vegetables.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-84950912107403018152011-07-17T23:22:49.739-05:002011-07-17T23:22:49.739-05:00I just found my old copy upstairs just in time to ...I just found my old copy upstairs just in time to read to my 3 year old granddaughter.hmshornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649048662298609823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-45242640700184170362010-01-18T07:39:15.696-06:002010-01-18T07:39:15.696-06:00what a great memory. thanks for sharing!what a great memory. thanks for sharing!Burgin Streetmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13473712188879858952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-77435793057676032552010-01-17T23:17:20.599-06:002010-01-17T23:17:20.599-06:00This is soooo funny!

This reminded me of a book I had read back in the 60's We got on the internet, she looking up edible flowers, me googling "The Boy Who Ate Flowers". Google took me to this blog and several websites that listed this book as still available, copyright 1960. I was floored! We had a good laugh. I was amazed that I not only remembered the book (out of literally hundreds that I read in grade school) but also the illustrations AND the way the book made me feel as I was reading it for the first time. What a pleasant memory!canammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713365335248201199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-33093779087379171582009-11-19T00:21:15.053-06:002009-11-19T00:21:15.053-06:00You blog looks wonderful.
