Sticky Notes

Books and Bikinis Reading Challenge - read 10 books about mermaids, the sea, the beach...by the end of the summer! hopefully soon!
(7 out of 10 read)

Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

The Secret Olivia Told Me, by N. Joy


The Secret Olivia Told Me, by N. Joy
Picture Book, 2007

Olivia tells her friend a secret, who knows she'll never tell....but one day it slips, and before she knows it, it's been told over and over to everyone, getting bigger and bigger until one day - she must decide if she should tell Olivia that she told her secret.
A funny little book, I like the imagery of the balloon representing the secret, getting bigger and bigger until...it pops. I absolutely loved the illustrations. The story was perfect for kids, except I must confess to being a little frustrated that you never find out what that secret was. Graded a B+
