Reference Sunday: Palindromes in Celebration of 10/10/10!
Today's date~ 10/10/10~has inspired me to write about books I have always been intrigued with. While there are not many books on numeric palindromes there are plenty on the word variety. These are just fun books to get kids thinking....I always thought that a good palindrome can foster some creative thinking.
Mom and Dad Are Palindromes by Marc Shulman is a book that I really thought was cute. There is something about the story of Bob who discovers palindromes all around and can't get away from them. I try very hard not to recommend hard to get books but I couldn't help myself with this one. The illustrations are the quirky kind I like!
I have worked in books for most of my life, having started in the local library as a page when I was in High School. I worked for Barnes & Noble for many years first as a children's bookseller and then as a children's book buyer in their corporate office. I also worked for Scholastic books in their Book Club division. My favorite thing to do is to sit outside and read a book.
