I know you can have bibliomania, but can you have oldbibliomania? Is that possible? Because if it is, I believe I have it. My social relations with the people reading these same books are being damaged.
If you aren't a fellow old bibliomaniac, surely you just haven't read the right books. To help you out, I've listed a couple myself.
Strawberry Shortcake and the Big Balloon Race is a story with the classic Strawberry Shortcake. Strawberry and the other kids in Strawberryland celebrate the first harvest of strawberries with a big balloon race, but the evil Purple Pieman and his birds try to steal their crop!
Bread and jam for Frances is about young Frances who won't eat anything but bread and jam. So her parents hatch a plan. Can Frances live on bread and jam forever? (This is a good book to read to picky eaters.
The Princess Who Wore Glasses and The Patch are both books about girls with glasses or eye patches. The Princess Who Wore Glasses is about Princess Liana, who the queen and king find out can't see very far away. Liana can't see the birds in the tree or the stars in the sky! Liana's parents want to help her, so they take her to see the court magician, who gives her a stunning pair of glasses. The Patch features Becca, who has amblyopia, or lazy eye, and must wear an eye patch and glasses. Dismayed and embarrassed, Becca tells adventurous tales to her friends about why she's wearing them instead of the real reason. After reading these books, you'll find eye patches and glasses aren't so bad after all!
In Ruthie and the (Not So) Teeny Tiny Lie, Ruthie LOVES teeny tiny treasures. One day at recess, when Ruthie was twirling on the twirling bar, she spotted an minuscule camera. Ruthie adores it! But her classmate, Martin, claims it's his! Laura Rankin says it perfectly: "But Ruthie wanted that teeny tiny camera in the worst way." So she lies. A little one. Or is it?
These are just a couple! What are the books you read over and over? Tell us in comments!
