"Neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad."

Road to Reading
Help the school librarian just called and asked me to decorate the door to the library for the book fair next month. The theme is "road to reading". Help. Any ideas or in you can refer me to a website with pictures...I would appreciate it.
I just linked you from "a room somewhere" because I am a "smelley kelley with a bowl full of jelly" and saw your fun blog. Read your entry and just thought I'd share my first vision: a road starting at the bottom of the door, narrowing to a point about 70% of the way up to the horizon point. The road is filled with copies of covers of books that are bigger at the bottom of the door and get smaller and smaller to show the perspective of the lost horizon. At the horizon line, downlode all kinds of buildings (fanciful and not) Trees, people, things, etc. to show how when you read you are taken to places you might never have dreamed of going.You probably don't need this much help, but you can email me and I'd draw a quick sketch and send it as an attachment for you...
Cool idea above! My turn. 4 2 lane roads (one coming from each direction NSEW) and meeting in the middle in the shape of a round about. (You know what I mean?) The library is in the middle of the round about. Cars are driving to and from the library. The cars are actually books with wheels. Same idea as the previous one where the book covers would be a huge variety of topics showing the road to reading "taking you places you've never dreamed of going."
