Bink & Gollie by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee



They’re perfect for each other.








  1. Randomly came across your blog and love it. I'm an English major, so I can feel your love of books 100% Great blog, I am now a follower! :]

  2. Hey, I was an English major once too! Well, actually I was an elementary education major, but I was an English minor. Okay, okay. It wasn't really an English minor. It was called a "concentration" at my little college.

    Whew. So now THAT's out of the way, thankfully.

    [Anyways, what was I writing about...?]

    Ah, yes! Thanks for stopping by.

  3. You are very welcome for stopping by! And that's actually kind of funny, because I at one point was an Elementary Education major, but switched to English. I would LOVE to write children's books someday though. We'll see!

  4. Tell you what, you write the children's books, and I'll use them with the children.

    Just don't make them as exciting as some of the things I read in my English major ... minor ... uh, concentration.

  5. Haha not as exciting, meaning...keep them PG? I'm very good at that haha, I'm pretty much rated G. And yeah, maybe someday you will read some books by this crazy English major to your students :P

  6. Wait, wait, wait a sec, Christine. You get books stronger than PG in an English major? I got books rated:

    DB - Disturbingly Boring, characterized by the ability to skip several chapters and not lose track of the narrative.

    BB - Back Breaking, characterized by the ability to cause horrible, stooped posture in English majors carrying them in their backpacks.

    D - Depressing (see: Grapes of Wrath)

    I guess the sarcasm font in my last comment wasn't working. Reread that comment with thick sarcasm on "exciting." Make a difference?

  7. Hahaha, yes I am feeling the sarcasm quite strongly now! And ohhh yeah, we definitely have read some non-PG books in my classes. Let me tell ya! And haha, I read the Grapes of Wrath in 8th grade. Think I was too young to grasp it all probably, but I definitely grasped the depressing aspect. I'm pretty sure there was an entire chapter dedicated to describing a turtle crossing a street. I think that is all I remember about that entire book. That and lots of dust.
