musings a go go

Did anyone read this book when they were a child? I did, and I loved it. It was very much a picture book about a town called Chewandswallow whose only weather came three times a day as food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was very cute and I remember it to this day. In the second grade at Price Elementary in Crossett, twice we students got to pick out a book each. This was sponsored by the RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) program, and this book was one of the choices. I, however did not pick this book--the two books I picked were Crictor (the story of an elderly French woman and her pet snake) and Potato Chips and a Slice of Moon (a collection of poetry). My friend Christopher Harris picked Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs and he picked The Witches Catalog (more on that later). I loved those two books.....anyway, fast forward to 2006--I was at the library this weekend (I love going there) and decided on a whim to visit the children's section to see if I could find the book and I did! I not only found that book, but a sequel to it which was written in 1997! The sequel is called Pickles to Pittsburgh, and I checked both of them out, along with an Encyclopedia Brown book and a few Nancy Drew books--haha. They are cute and are very good books to give as gifts to neices and nephews around 5-8.
