Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for July 24, 2022

just saying, but would Ernesto say about The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?

You know, there’s a lot of research saying that tolking can help treat anxiety, with the right dosage. However, it’s still illegal in a lot of the US.

Alice found Lio’s book!

I want one of those books!

More like derivative from McCaffrey than Tolkien.

How can Petey know if the book is bad except by reading it himself? I’d bet he would enjoy it.

I wish Alice would have let loose her giant squid pop-up book on that pompous Ernesto—-pow! Then he would have something to tolking about.

“Big Pop-Up Book of Giant Squids” is just derivative and watered down (no pun intended) Verne.

Careful closing that book Alice. you might involve Pete in the story. :D

Petey has never Kippled either.

I’ll wager that Lio has checked out the Big Pop-up Book of Giant Squids!

Much better books than the one I once read: The Big Pop-Up Book of Sucker Punches

“Do you like Kipling?”“I’ve never kippled.”

Love Pop-ups books- especially one about squids, but even better would be a popup books about Krakens!!

more like h.p.lovecraft

Is Dirk a Targeryen? Don’t get too invested in the series, Petey. I’m pretty sure the author has lost interest in finishing it.

Try “The Big Pop-up Book of Phobias”. The dentist pop-up is much like this squid.

I wonder what the Greek or Latin word for “squid” is so that we could know what the word for the fear of them would be, the word to prefix to “Phobia” or “Phobic”. Calamari is the Italian term.

Poor Petey! And not long after the episode of the giant flower!

Alice needs to be more careful with that thing! Giant squids are not Kids’ business (unless you’re Lio; but then he is anything but a typical kid).

Ernesto is a pompous pretender. He needs a slap or two….

The librarian is happy to get the Right Book(s) to the Right Reader(s).
