When you live in a town without a bookstore you really look forward to the book fair coming for a visit, I loved, loved the book fair when I was kid and I really enjoy taking my kids to it. The book fair comes twice a school year and has all kinds of books that you can purchase. It can get really expensive if you're not careful, so if you are mindful of a budget you can do as I do and limit your kids to picking books with special value stickers on them. Sadly, we only had ten minutes to shop before they closed up. We bought four books and two eraser sets for $11.00 which was all the cash I had. Quinton wasn't able to come due to football practice.
Declan by his current favorite series: I, Survived
The I, Survived series tells historical stories through a fictional kids experience
(like Titanic, September 11, and 1916 Shark Attacks).
Archy really liked this Shark book, we dashed through the rain to go to the bookfair.
Zany found a wu-wu (dog book)
Dear McCoy has always loved miniature things and stationary supplies and at the bookfair his two loves combine in the form of erasers. Every year McCoy eagerly checks out the table with pencils, erasers and whatnots and decides well in advance of my arrival what eraser he will purchase. (They are allowed to go as a school class to see the products.)

McCoy chose a tiny rhinoceros and alligator erasers.
Everyone was very happy with their chosen purchases, but I felt a bit rushed and didn't have a thorough browse so I may have to hunt down the book fair at another school and go again. Did I mention I love book fairs?
