Book Fairs are such wonderful things.
Seeing how excited the children from my local primary school were at the book sale in the library today, made it an even greater pleasure.
We hear so much about how books are on the same path as the dinosaurs. How video games and technology are killing children's love for books.
I did not see any sign of this today. And, if the look of delight on the faces of the kids as they picked out the books they were going to buy is anything to go by, books are going to be with us for a long, long time.
Book Safari was this years book week theme and the children and parents of Eglinton Public School did themselves proud today. The Book Week costume parade offered up an amazing variety of African animals, safari guides, witch doctors, Zulu warriors and traditionally dressed African girls. There were also a couple of young tigers, obviously on holidays from India, a wookie, a ninja turtle and even Herbie the Love Bug made an appearence to make the parade a true spectacle.
Today was a good day!
