In January of 2005 I started this blog as a record of books I’ve read as I was afraid I would forget what I have read. I have often referred back to my own blog to remember a book's contents or see what I have read by an author. I have enjoyed passing my books on to friends or recommending books to read. I know I have missed recording some, but in general I try to keep up with what I have read or listened to.

Flotsam by David Wiesner (2006)
Just thought I'd check out a few of the latest Caldecott winners. When I started looking at this and found it had no words, and it was just a kid on the beach, I was disappointed, but then when he finds an old underwater camera and finds film inside which he has developed, I became fascinated. The imagination of Wiesner is just wonderful. Combining the real and fanciful. Like the octopus family sitting on living room furniture, but in the background you can see a moving truck upended, so the furniture could have fallen out of that.... Anyway, pure joy!
