Toad Cottages and Shooting Stars: Grandma’s Bag of Tricks

Remember when I was in search of a good book about grandparenting – and instead of finding a good book about grandparenting, I found myself stuck with Anne Lamott’s book about grandparenting? Right. We’re better off forgetting that ever happened.  One good thing came of that search, some nice people offered to send me a copy of Toad Cottages and Shooting Stars: Grandma’s Bag of Tricks.  I accepted and now that I’ve read it, I’m darn glad that I did.

Have you heard of the book Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots? Same author, which gives you some idea of what you’re going to find in Toad Cottages and Shooting Stars.  No angst, just feel-good stories and ideas that make this soon-to-be grandmother extra excited about exploring the world with Johnny Mac Pippin (assuming he ever decides to arrive, doggone it.)

Camp Granny, here we come!

Sacre’\ Bleu

I love Chris Moore. I should just leave it at that. It’s enough. Really. Except that Sacre Bleu is a beautiful book. The cover is GORGEOUS – I want a t-shirt with the cover on it. Seriously. How about a laptop bag? We could make the cover of this book the new Monet’s Water Lilies and have it printed on EVERY THING and sold in art galleries and gift shops all over the world. We should. It would be awesome.

If you liked Lamb or Fool, you will love Sacre Bleu. If you haven’t read either of those, what the hell are you waiting for?
