Google’s logo changes to celebrate all sorts of special days. It’s fun to see some of the designs they have done over the years. You can see them over at Google here =)
Today they are celebrating the first day of Spring with a design by Eric Carle.
Google's logo for first day of Spring 2009
When I saw this it made me think of books in general and kids’ books in particular. Regarding kids books I would like to know what favorites are going around your house now. Classics like The Very Hungry Caterpillar or something many or most may not have heard of that you can recommend? Please leave a comment if you have one ~ always up for suggestions.
Books are on my mind anyway because I have started a Facebook group - One Book One Month. Here is our premise: that we are all very busy, but most of us like a good book and a book discussion. Members can suggest titles and then a selection of those will be voted on. Then we either read and discuss or don’t read and don’t discuss. What I like about the idea is that since Facebook brings people from the outer edges of our social circles a little bit closer it is possible to share something meaningful with folks in the form of a shared experience while perhaps half a planet apart.
Membership in the group is currently wide open (just started it yesterday) - I’d love to have you suggest a title for reading in the coming month.
Oh - so what does this post have to do Giving a Mouse a Cookie? Well…
If you give Ed a Spring Google logo he’s going to want to blog about it.
If you let him blog about it he’s going to want to ask about kids books in your life.
If he asks about kids books he’ll probably want to read and discuss books with you on Facebook.
And chances are, if you start discussing something with Ed he’ll turn to Google where he’ll find the next holiday logo.
Happy Spring to you!
