    Huh?

    A good friend of mine is a 4th grade teacher and we have exchanged birthday and Christmas gifts ever since WE were in 5th grade. As I was cleaning out my bookshelf for our move next week, I came across 3 years of presents from her--children's books. The woman has given me nothing but children's books for the past 3 years that she's been a schoolteacher! I don't even have kids! Am I supposed to enjoy these books?! Just curious what's compelling her to give me these...

    Are they recent or classics? Something you would have nostalgia for? Oftentimes kids books have awesome illustrations, and sometimes they have very compelling stories.

      They're recent ones. One of them is about an ogre of some kind--I honestly haven't read it. I love children's books; I have some old favorites from when I was little, but that's the extent of my connection to them.

      "Caps for Sale" is one I used to ask for ALL THE TIME. "Good Night Moon" used to freak me out because there were so many shadows and a mouse. It was spooky to me!

        That seems very weird. I could see giving one or two classics if you know the recipient had some sort of special fondness for them, but otherwise giving children's books to somebody without kids seems a little strange to me.
