Day 13: Read scary to me


On Friday, I finished the delightful book above. It is a great creepy read aloud. I love being read to. When I was in grade school, my mom would read to me every lunch hour. I haven't lost my enjoyment in being a listener and I also like to read to my loved ones. I tried some of these out on my husband, and he liked them too.
These are stories with folklore roots, meant to be shared aloud. Del Negro has some fine versions of "Mr Fox," "The Elfin Knight," and more. My only complaint is that the book is too short. But, it's now on my shopping list. You should seek it out quickly.
If you can't, try http://rickwalton.com/folktale/jacoba26.htm for another spiffy version of "Mr. Fox." Go ahead.
Be bold.

LOVE, LOVe, LOve, Love, love your statement about loving yourself! It is so important to say that, even to ourselves, and WAY too many women are unsatisfied with how they look. Bravo to you to put it out there! Mona
