Postscript to Cheerios!

Hello Baby, a book about baby animals

 Today I bought another Cheerio  book, and actually came home and read the box. There are 6 books in the series and you can choose the book you want.

This is called Spoonful of Stories and in 10 years they have given away 60 million books inside specially marked boxes. why I have not seen it I do not know. they have donated 3.6 million dollars to First Book which is a program to get books to kids that need them the most.

Just for TexWisGirl... the last line of Noodle and Lou is

And Lou, he was tickled, See you just never know, he said with a grin, how a day's gonna go.
But really thought Noodle, the bigger surprise is Seeing yourself through your best buddies eyes.
Story by Liz Garton Scanlon, illustrated by Arthur Howard

sorry for the Two Post day.... again

Hi....I just saw you over at TexWis Girl [Theresa] and noticed your expression in your comment "Yikesola" [the scorpion]....had to stop by and introduce myself and tell you I like that word!!

As for these books, they are outstanding!!! And they're inside Cheerios boxes? Well, I never knew. I also read your post below this one regarding another book. I'm speechless.

And to think of all the money donated...that in itself, is amazing.

Nice to meet you.

I've never heard of these books. Could be because we don't eat cereal around here. What a great idea.

Best,

I love the picture you chose to snap! I did not know anything about this either!!! But as soon as I get to the grocery store, you KNOW what I'm buying!!!! The girls will love the books and we will ALL love the Cheerios! I think I may even let them open the box and give them the books.

We don't eat Cheerios so I guess that's why I haven't heard of the books. It's a good thing they are doing. Love your header!

Are those the books that come free in the box? I can't remember if it was Cheerios or not. I think so. Anyway...sadly I threw it away. Am I supposed to keep them? :((((((

Beautiful books to see.
I always think if an adult can enjoy reading a story to a child... the child really loves the experience.
Take care xx
