So many wonderful pictures! So many facts and poems and stories! A world to enter each day. Thanks for the reminder.

They were so fancy and expensive looking. <br /><br />That being said, the internet allows my children to research things so much more thouroughly today.Japolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07298168458099473725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-69135703189928634982013-04-05T05:53:44.356-07:002013-04-05T05:53:44.356-07:00I loved our encyclopedias too!

We also have the Encyclopedia Britannica which we bought when our kids were young. Now everyone just uses the Internet. And it's great! And fast! But... not the same. And yes, I grew up in the 50's and really enjoyed listening to Jiminy Cricket.

My sister and I memorized some poems and also read stories to each other from them. I miss seeing things in print (as I sit here at my laptop typing electronically). :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
