Chocolate vs Books
April 11, 2017 12:35 Book stuff | Book signings
A new way to celebrate this season: a little chocolate and a bunch of books!
There is no way to have Easter without candy. That would be as un-American as Halloween without trick or treating. I love getting a chocolate bunny and biting the ears off. And who doesn’t like a fresh jellybean?
I am saying, not as much candy but more books. Candy does have a lot of sugar and it is not good for kids. It is also not good for adults who have to put up with kids who have too much sugar.
I suggest a make-your-own Easter basket with candy and a few books. And if you want to go the extra mile, put in a coloring book and some new crayons. What could be better than new crayons?
The books will last after the candy is gone. Books don’t melt or spoil.
Can I suggest a few spring books? What Makes the Lightning, What Makes a Rainbow, The Tale of the Pronghorned Cantaloupe, Ol’ Jimmy Dollar, How Hollyhocks Came to New Mexico, Miguel & Michelle Visit Spaceport America, Grandpa Lolo & Tampa.
Get a sugar high while reading!
