In fact, each time I pull one off the library shelf, it is because of the cover -- they are usually in those little holders to show the cover off.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-87771773498308134782008-03-04T07:34:00.000-06:002008-03-04T07:34:00.000-06:00I have looked at this one many times at the store ...I have looked at this one many times at the store because the cover is so fantastic.

It was useful in teaching, too. Just give a vague reference to any sexual aspect, and the kids were researching on their own.

It brought back fond memories of school days when we would giggle at the "dirty" bits of the poems. <BR/><BR/>I loved reading Donne's poems aloud then. It made it so much easier to memorise the poems, and to love it.<BR/><BR/>You're okay with the reviews. Much much better than me, because I would much rather read than write about a book I've already read!darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-28110809031092248262008-02-29T07:29:00.000-06:002008-02-29T07:29:00.000-06:00Danielle - I think there are cycles we all must su...Danielle - I think there are cycles we all must submit to....

I'm having a hard time with mysteries again this year--I can't seem to make any progress in The Beekeepers Apprentice.

I'd love it if he'd read it with me sometime, but I was lucky to get him to read "Casey At The Bat"!Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.com
