Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life

As part of my faves box I included the book Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It’s not a new book, in fact I think I’ve written about it before, but I’ve been leafing through it since I pulled it off the shelf and busting a gut on nearly every single page. It’s like reading through your funny friend’s twitter stream except with a bit more heft and you feel smarter doing it since it’s a book and you can review it on Good Reads afterwards.

I like rediscovering something awesome.

    I love this book! Have you read any of her children’s books? They are fantastic (I especially love Little Hoot and Duck! Rabbit!).

    It’s a great book – a writing teacher genius I know uses it as a model text for what kids could write. It’s hilarious.

    Darn, I was so sure that leaning had an affect on the bowling ball! I love the look of this book, I’ll have to look out for it on Amazon. I’ve just started following, and blogging too infact, and of course I love your blog! (:
