I'm sure you figured it out from my comment, but this is "the other Amanda". ;-)aby914https://www.blogger.com/profile/11539449153680751141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624720509483857478.post-71105593768712903252010-05-16T21:15:50.565-07:002010-05-16T21:15:50.565-07:00Victoria,

In practice, it doesn't quite work that way, but we have a stack in M's room (in or on the bag) and another in K's ... outside his door actually. We've never lost a book, although with the small paperbacks there have been a couple of close calls.<br /><br />I don't know how to keep them from grabbing books off the shelves ~ K does this a little bit, usually I just go ahead and check out anything he pulls out (he's good at only pulling out one at a time) unless I really don't like it, then I'll try to put it back (easy if they are actually in correct alpha order, but they aren't always at our library). <br /><br />That's my 2 cents worth!

For example, every time we read Sleeping Beauty, Catherine has to get her magic wand because that is what the fairy godmothers use. I have been eager to start chapter books at night with Catherine and love the idea of having her read specific words.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755891185200879035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624720509483857478.post-50643953426542214152010-05-16T19:41:16.588-07:002010-05-16T19:41:16.588-07:00You are on a roll.

Can you point to the cow? What does the cow say?<br /><br />We also keep books in the car for them to read on their own plus whenever we end up somewhere with wait time, we have books to read.<br /><br />Can you tell us how you take 3 kids to the library and not have them pull a zillion books off the shelf and make tons of noise? Also, when I have gone to the library I have had a lot of trouble keeping up with the books I checked out. Any advice?Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755891185200879035noreply@blogger.com
