my nephew reading my copy of “cars and trucks and things that go”

before my nephew was born, i mailed my childhood copy of the richard scarry classic to my brother as a christmas gift. this morning he texted me and said “noah has been insisting he eat blueberries and read ‘pig and momma’ this morning.” i was delighted.

my parents bought that copy of the book for me in ~1984 and the legend goes that i requested back-to-back re-readings of it on a daily basis. glad the tradition has continued.
