"Getting" It

I LOVED my job in high school! I worked at Barnes and Noble on the weekends and on school breaks. I actually started "working" when I was younger, but since I wasn't old enough to be paid in the traditional sense, I got paid in books. What could be better for a book-a-holic?! My mom started working at this particular location some time when I was in Middle School. My brother and I LOVED tagging along on our days off because we got to sit and read any and all books we wanted all day! I guess I looked like I knew what I was doing because customers would ask me questions! I loved children's books and was always more than happy to make recommendations. That is how my career started :)

While I worked at the bookstore and shelved books (mostly in the children's section), I came across lots of titles! There were always a few books that I mentally tucked away on the list of books I wouldn't buy for my children. I'm embarrassed to admit that the DK series of My First Board Books were on this list. I just didn't have any interest in sitting and pointing at things and labeling them. (Later I would learn that this is a very important part of children's development of language, but what did I know then?)
At the library a few weeks ago, I came across My First Truck Board Book. I grabbed it thinking it would make a great book for Jackson to look at in the car. He LOVED it! He spent most of the time he was in the car flipping through the book and studying all of the trucks. I think we have only actually read it once or twice! But, he LOVES it! I was really excited to come across a copy at TJ Maxx for just a few dollars, so we now own that one.

I also checked out My First Pets Board Book at a later library visit and it went over just as well!

So, I must admit that this series is pretty darn awesome :)
