Completing the Boynton oeuvre
I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and noticed that the Boynton books were buy two, get one free. They had a similar promotion last year, during which I exercised restraint, then later regretted it. Yesterday, I did no such thing. I bought six books so we have a complete collection: Doggies; Fuzzy, Fuzzy, Fuzzy; Blue Hat, Green Hat; Hey, Wake Up; Barnyard Dance; and Birthday Monsters.
So far, my toddler Drake’s favorites are Fuzzy, Fuzzy, Fuzzy and Hey, Wake Up. For reasons neither my husband G. Grod nor I can comprehend, he very much enjoys the lines about broccoli stew in the latter book, and laughs with hilarity each time.
If your Boynton collection is not complete, get thee to a bookstore and take advantage of this deal. Unlike some other children’s books, they weather repeated readings without inspiring bitterness, fatigue or nausea.
