Come and join the hunt here
These photos were taken last October 2008 at Yohan's school during their Jurassic Book Fair. I support school activities like this one because it draws students and families to appreciate the wonderful world of books.
Below is my son (wearing a hat) looking at the books on display. I don't mind buying him books because different kinds of literature foster his interest and love for reading.

I buy lots of picture books for my son when he was young. Now with a computer, he has lost interest in books. :(

ReplyDeleteWhy is it Jurassic Book Fair? All about remnants, fossils and the like?
@Lynn: Jurassic era was the theme of the book fair. The kids were asked to go to school in archaeologist get-up. :) They had exploration activities. It was a fun day. The books sold had diverse subjects.

ReplyDeleteI love bookfairs. One of my mom friends at the kids old school would run them 2x a year and I helped work them. I'll tell ya, we have A LOT of books here. That's one thing I never skimped on for the kids. Let them read as much as they want! I love books!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book fairs at my kids' schools, and they loved picking out their own books. Your son looks very serious about his selection. Fun photos.
ReplyDeleteMy son was a real bookworm... he couldn't have enough of books... then he discovered the PC...the internet...etc... and he forgot his first love!
ReplyDeletebuying books for the boys is already a part of our family's budget bec that's what we got for them whenever they deserve a prize. :)
ReplyDeleteU remind me of a book fair which I'd to forgo today because I had errands to run. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the theme! I also bought loads of books to my son when he was little and that has made such a difference.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing all the lovely books and shops today.. I am definitely going to the library's book sale in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteMy books are up here.
I send books to my great nieces all the time. Such a wonderful gift to give...I think. It opens the world to their little minds.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well.
Have a great week.
Hugs,
