THE SUNDAY POST #NINE


THE SUNDAY POST is a weekly feature hosted by Kimba at The Caffinated Book Reviewer. It is a chance to recap the previous week, share news, showcase books and/or bookish things we have received, and tell about what is coming up on our blog in the next week. You can view the rules, HERE.



Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss's birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL!!!!




Yesterday I found Dr. Seuss "teach me to read" apps on special for the celebration. I puchased ten of the cheaper ones (99¢ and $1.99) for less than $10.00 because through the Kindle App Store I received enough purchase point coins, with my first Seuss apps, that I was able to get two for free.


They are the FULL books! And because they each have three modes: teach me to read, read it myself, and auto read; it is like getting the book, the audio book, and the teaching app for one price. I bought them to have on hand for babysitting and my someday grandchildren.


If you go to the Kindle App Store there is a Daily Deals banner for them.

My grandmother taught me to read with One Fish Two Fish, and I taught my son to read with Go Dog Go. My father got me the Dr. Seuss Book of the Month Club, and I remember how excited I was when I saw the familiar white cardboard box come in the mail. I can still remember the smell of the pages when I first opened the new arrivals. I made sure my son had the book of the month club, too. 




I talked about a serious subject in my TELL ME TUESDAY this last week. You can read that post, HERE.


NEXT WEEK
I'm not going to tell you what I got this week because I am doing a Stacking The Shelves, for the month of February, tomorrow. I think I am going to make this a regular feature on the first Monday of every month.  I will, as usual, be doing a Tell Me Tuesday and we are supposed to have a new feature follower, so that will be nice. I am going to try and get a review done, also. Choosing which book is going to be difficult.



What are some of your Seuss memories?
