This made us laugh. Puns are quite a bit of fun, especially unexpected ones!
You can skip to the bottom of this post if you just want to find out how you can win this hilarious, well-made book bag and a $25 Amazon gift card to spend on reading materials.
Unlike aquariums, zoos, candy stores and race cars, books have retained their ability to amaze. If you’ve met my parents you won’t be surprised that they had rules about reading, too.
- Never waste time with a trashy book.
- Books are your friends, treat them well.
- Never lose your love for reading, it’s a lifeline.
Obviously, those are some smart rules and it’s hard to argue against the results. They ended up with a family that loves books. Big books. Little books. E-books. Flipbooks. Even books we intend to write but have trouble putting onto paper.
Thus ends the lesson and begins the fun!

The Last Noo-Noo by Jill Murphy. It still makes me smile every time. ((:
I also like Frog And Toad.
My mother was very happy to be adored btw. (;
Thanks for the giveaway! I don’t know that I had one favorite childhood book, but I did love Frog and Toad–especially the one where Toad is embarrassed to be seen in his bathing suit and the one where he has Frog hide some cookies because Toad doesn’t have the willpower not to eat them! I also loved this one children’s book about a turtle who decided he would never hide in his shell, then that he would always hide in his shell, then finally that he would do some of each, because “that’s what a smart turtle would do.” What can I say? I must have had a thing for reptiles and amphibians as a girl…

I just told my husband I adore him! (He would have looked at me even more strangely, probably, had I told him I was fulfilling the requirements of a contest!)
My favorite book growing up? There were so many, Green Eggs and Ham, The Giver, Escape From Witch Mountain… The list could go on and on. I have always loved reading and will never stop. I have a library that takes up and entire wall in my little apartment. I wouldn’t be me without them. <3 <3 the bag!
My favorite childhood book is “the very hungry caterpillar” and “I’ll love you forever” by Robert Munsch. I read these books over and over and they are what sparked my love of reading. I spent countless hours in libraries and comfy places reading and being sucked into different worlds because of those 2 initial books and my parents. I will always nuture that adoration of reading for the rest of my life and hopefully will be able to teach my kids the same thing.
The Lord of the Rings!

I learned to read with AB, THE CAVE MAN. I am an avid reader, panic when there’s nothing to read and will resort to cereal boxes
