Evelyn LOVES books. It could be worse. She could be addicted to TV or food or drugs. Anyway, we have read LOTS of books. Today we read a book called, "Little Toot," by Hardie Gramatky. It's not what you think. It was published in 1939 and is the story of a self-conscious tugboat. I found it quite the historical treat given my modern perspective on politics and environmentalism, and the fanatical and trendy green movement going on right now. (Don't get me started.) I offer you a little sample.
That's right. This is the heartwarming tale of Little Toot, who, despite being embarrassed by his little toot, can at least be proud of his smokestacks. And yes, in the end, he saves the day with his emissions. Now-a-days, you couldn't get a publisher to touch that with a 10 foot pole.

I think that's a great book.
She's a good learner!!! At least she remembers what you've told her.
she does also love food...not as much as books and it's still not drugs or tv, but she's an eater
