Every now and then my local supermarket has a huge pile of bargin books for sale in the meat secion. (Why next to the frozen turkeys? I have no idea; this just seems to be the only available space in the store. Sometimes the same spot has Beanie Babies.) It’s a good sized amount of hardcover books, cheap (!), but sadly, I’ve never seen anyone hunt for buried treasure in the pile like I do. I guess most people are in too much of a rush to take a few minutes to dig though a pile of discounted books.
A few months ago I found Life Cycles of Nature Flip Charts. My latest find is simply called Animals Foldout Book which is about animal classification. Both books have wonderful illustrations and have proved very popular around here. The kiddos were actually fighting over the animal classifical book in the car on the way home. How cool is that? Normally I don’t tolerate such behavior but they were fighting over a book. That’s worthy of some fisticuffs, I think.
