Bookstore Visit

Last week we went to a big, big bookstore. Miss Haana and I had been to a nearby bookstore too many times and we were ready for something new. It was a beautiful day and we had great drive in the convertible. But it was only when we stepped inside the bookstore that the real fun unleashed!

Once inside, we headed straight to the kids' section. There were aisles upon aisles of books.. Picture books, board books, craft books, sticker books, awarded books, best illustrated books.. Baskets full of stuffed toys, activity sets, carts full of more books! They had a small house with teeny-tiny table and 4 small chairs for the little readers. There was a ramp for little readers to take their cart up  to the other aisles that were a few steps up. A couple kids were running their carts up and down the ramp. 

Initially Miss Haana went straight into the small little house and seated herself on the little bitty chairs. She sifted through the books on the table, pointed out pictures to the other kids; while I looked for Curious George and Dora and Arthur books. 

Soon a handful of crazy kids were running up and down the ramp with a cart. Giggling crazy! One of them kids was mine! 

Meanwhile I ran to the sticker aisle! Oh my! What a treasure trove! There were books upon books of all kinds of stickers!  Is this all real, I wondered! 

There were more wonderful aisles of art work, reading, numbers, crafts and best of all.. Sparkles! 

However, the clock beckoned- it was time for us to get going. And I had to leave some books and activities behind for a second visit after all. So with s heavy heart we headed to the checkout counter. But already scheming to come back another day. This was way too much fun!
