The second week of November is National Children's Book Week. I will be reacquainted with young children's book as my great nephew is having a birthday party this Saturday. He will be 3 years old. I was thinking of getting him a couple of the Spot books since they come in a hard cover version which is pretty indestructible so if his little sister gets her hands on one it won't be easily torn. Plus they are cute and fun and easy for kids to follow. I am sure there are lots of great books available since my kids were young so it will be fun to browse. Tomorrow night I will be attending a speaking engagement by Dorie Greenspan who has a new cook book out. I really enjoy her recipes and have heard her speak before- very entertaining. Can't wait.
