The power of reading
The kids were all sound asleep in record time. It was 8:30 and I was downstairs when little lady cried out from her room. She was yelling and crying.
I ran upstairs to find her sitting up in her bed, covering her mouth and saying some
thing. I couldn't understand her at first.
"I turned pink!" she wept.
Just like in Pinkalicious, which we had read twice before she fell asleep.
I rubbed her checks, checked her belly and assured her she wasn't pink. Then she dropped back onto her pillow to cuddle under the covers.
Any books turned you a different color?
Do join in Day to Read on January 8, 2009. A group of us are turning off our computers (at least the times when we are on purely for fun) and opening a book, a magazine or a newspaper. Why? Read here to find out.

LOL! Too funny. I haven't yet had one that made me turn a color, but that would be fun to try out.
That's awesome! We haven't changed colors around here, my oldest daughter and I have both had dreams about being one of the Three Little Pigs.
That's great! I have turned pink before too, but I think it may have been from the sun.
Ha-ha Heather! I forgot that the sun does indeed turn me and my kids pink!
I just posted about a book which made me turn red as a fire engine...
Yeah, that's right. How red is my face?
But speaking of colors, do you know the one about turning stripes?
A BAD CASE OF STRIPES by David Shannon. It's delightful!
