Great For Graduation














There comes that special time once a year where you find yourself clueless and wondering. You are trying to buy a gift yet have no idea what to get. (No this isn't Christmas, a birthday, nor is it even a wedding gift.) It is the time for graduations. If you do indeed find yourself stuck and don't know what to give a graduating person, (because they can be from kindergarten all the way up to maybe even a promotion) a great book to give them would be Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss.

"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!"

It is a great little story that reaches out to more than just a fun children's book. As funny as it may sound, if I were asked to speak at a gratuation, which I hope that I do, I would love to quote Dr. Seuss's story of Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Fictional Stories

Hello everyone! My name is Emily. I have never done this before so bare with me! In this blog setup, I would like to talk about different fictional books/stories that I have read and enjoy. There are so many books out there that are incredible. Feel free to fill me in on books that you have read as well!

I love children's books. They are so fun to read and the author's and illustrator's take on the stories are wonderful....sometimes. Granted, there are your occasional "duds" out there, however, the best part about a story is the literary value. Some may mean one thing to one person and garbage to another.

Thank you and I hope this works!
