I am glad I haven't encountered many in my recent reads - but yup, it can detract from a reader's enjoyment, definitely. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-7380746831076136162019-01-08T20:54:25.037-05:002019-01-08T20:54:25.037-05:00Clements’ novels are always a hit with students an...Clements’ novels are always a hit with students and agree that he tells school stories so well!

I like to think I will use them some day, but I doubt I will ever come up with a use for those vintage ones. I look forward to the day when I can let my grandchildren browse through them just like I used to do with the huge button box my grandmother had.

Near the end of that year, my best friend gave me THE prized sticker of the entire school (which was a large sparkly unicorn). I still have it to this day and keep thinking of neat ways to give it back to her -- might make a fun framed 50th birthday present, methinks. :) Thanks for the great review!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.com
