Lists!!!

I make lists, lost of lists. I have lists for movies I wants to watch. I have lists for places I want to visit. I have lists for CDs I want to buy. And I have lists for books.Lots of lists about books. Historical books I want to read listed in chronological order. Young Adult books I want to read is another list. But then I have another list of books I want to read and this list tells me if I can check them out of the library or not. This is like the holiest of holy list. I am constantly changing this list by adding new books and occasionally I will actually read something from this list. I decided that I needed to start reading some of the books off this list since the library might have to cull the book I wanted to read.

So I went back to the earliest book I placed on my holy of holy list. It was published in 1970!!!!!!!!! How long has this book been on the list and what in the world was this book about and who was Betty Brock? I was shocked when I got the book from the Library and the book was a children's book No Flying in the House. What was even more shocking was the book was great.

A tiny talking dog, Gloria, and her young charge, Annabel Tippens, need a home. How does a dog happen to be raising a young girl? Mrs. Vancourt can't resist a talking dog who can do 367 different tricks. She takes them in to live with her. Where are Annabel's missing parents? Gloria and an evil cat named Belinda both know. But it is left to Annable to discover on her own.

I would use this book as a reading for enjoyment book. I think our kids would enjoy it and it is a great story.
