Action List: 3.15.11

While looking through the timeline of childrens' books i noticed a few that were familiar and that i remember my mom reading to me when i was a kid. "Where the Wild Things Are" was probably one of my favorite books to be read to me. I also liked "The Very Hungery Caterpillar" and remember bringing it to school one time for some project that we did. The book "Frog and Toad Are Friends" was the first chapter book that i ever read. I'm pretty sure that I started reading it in first grade. I think that it's cool to see classic books that i remember from when i was a kid to be organized into a timeline and being able to find out a little more about them.

c) Brian Turner's "Here, Bullet" has a jagged intonation mixed with bitterness which makes for anapestic implications that could be described as more imaginative rather than scrupulous.
