Puddle Book!
Eric and Jules
Yesterday I found Moving a Puddle in the mailbox, and it's great as I
hoped... I read it all through cooking dinner, but the most UNEXPECTED
thing happened though: dh [who is still cynical, a by-stander of
unschooling/ life] picked it up and he READ it!!! ya!

I'm glad your husband read it. Glad you liked it. Hope you didn't
read it so fast the careful word choices flew by like fenceposts on

LOL, I meant I read the book while cooking dinner, but not the entire
thing :)
I don't read that fast, but most of all I tried to look at all the
pictures, a lot of sweet pictures... really this is a great book.

Thanks.
I used to read really fast, probable due to all the school training,
and the fact that if I "finished" fast I could do other things, so I
got into the habit of thinking "finished" was good. But I started to
realize that even with non-fiction, going slowing enough to
appreciate the way the person wrote was much better than "finishing,"
and that some of the reading I had finished really amounted only to
"skim." I remember the whole Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course days,
when magazine articles would tell the secrets of that course, and
teachers at school would teach us to "skim for comprehension."
I was thinking of it just the day before you wrote what you wrote,
because Holly doesn't like menus, and two restaurants she goes to
often have LONG, big, changeable menus. One is painted out on a full
sheet of plywood and isn't on paper and the other one is about 12
pages long. She reads pretty quickly, but doesn't skim.
I'm glad you're liking the photos. I never intended to have any
until I discovered that a magazine-page-length article was over two
pages long and rarely three pages, so I started looking for filler.
It made the project MUCH more complicated, but I like the final
result too.
