BOOK Fairs

I think KSP daddies and mommies can set up KSP library together to benefit all KSP kiddos

Actually, that is another brilliant idea

Or

We can do a mutually agreed book swap :boogie:

I usually buy books for reading. Not assessment books. It's so baaaaad that I can own 2 or 3 versions of one story eg The Jungle Book :oops: :oops: and :siao:

I marginally less bad than you. Bought a neil gaiman's odd & the frost giant at mph sale. Then saw the hardcover version at page one closing down sale going at $1. 不管三七二十一, I grabbed. Now I think I still have 2 of those. but generally I won't buy the same title, no space lah.

I'm ok with the library, but a bit scared that I may mix up other pp's books with mine or if my kid dun take care. I scream a lot at my kids for making our books look like kiam chye that I'm amazed I havent' put them off reading yet.

Haha... Understand what you mean. When my dd was little, she used to mimic me - used my highlighter to \"colour\" her storybooks and doodling on them. (I was studying for an exam then so was highlighting and making notes) :faint: So , I never borrow storybooks for her to read then... All books were bought from book fairs or book shops.

So most of her storybooks could not be \"recycled\" to her cousins cos all worse than Kiam Chye ! :rotflmao:

But as she grows older, she takes care of her books ... Heng ah !

hee, my smaller one used to paste stickers on his barney board books. but then again, most of the other books I have, DS1 will only read once (joke books excepted) - so actually the condition quite mint.


There are some titles where I demand absolute compliance. My Graveyard Book, the Sabuda pop up books and of course the chinese kameila series.

I dun even like to see my kids step on books. Somehow that seems to be really (to the power of 10) bad to me.
