I keep telling myself that I must get to them. This looks like an interesting book to read along with them.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757963698816530787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-74657784627183795582013-07-27T16:24:32.815-04:002013-07-27T16:24:32.815-04:00Thanks for your encouragement!

I'm about to finish the last of the series, so that looks like a good overview/refresher. I read The Way Into Narnia (reviewed here: http://barbarah.wordpress.com/2011/08/02/book-review-the-way-into-narnia/) the first time I participated in Carrie's challenge, and it really enhanced my reading of the series.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903409844961124425.post-77681483353707696612013-07-25T19:17:44.345-04:002013-07-25T19:17:44.345-04:00That pop up book is awesome!!!!

I have a pop up book collection and it puts them all to shame, as much as I still love them all. ;) I've been meaning forever to "review" it on my blog. I may take some pictures and get it up before the month is over. I grabbed my copy at BAM when it was on the bargain shelf for $5.97(with 20% off coupon). I looked at it with the boys just a couple of weeks ago, and tried to keep them from grabbing at it. :) It's definitely a great investment for the Narnia fans!

I do love the quote about vegetable and candy!! How are you doing these summer days? Miss you at FFF!Laura@OutnumberedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764574855540659528noreply@blogger.com
