It reemphasizes how books can be precious voices to transmit valuable lessons and thoughts to our children, and when you can relate to it, much sweeter! Thanks for bringing this to us.<br /><br />On a side note, I am also reminded of a book my daugher and I enjoy a lot called "The Best Place To Read" - it is about a little boy who complains while trying to find a comfortable chair to sit and read (dad's is poky, grandma's is rocky and so on), but finally settles down in the perfect place - his mom's lap! I initially thought this book was heading that way:)Meera Sriramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920643047652671176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-18390604311299667252009-11-09T22:44:44.554-08:002009-11-09T22:44:44.554-08:00@Utbt: Thanks!

Didn't go this deep into it though..you make me see it with fresh eyes - thanks!<br /><br />Have you read this story by Munshi Premchand called 'Idgah'? Its about this little boy being brought by his mom with great difficulty who goes to an Id fair and instead of buying something for himself like his friends did, gets a pair of kitchen tongs for his mom because he remembers how her fingers burn every time she makes rotis for him. His whole thought process has been captured beautifully in the story. We had it in school and my daughter's textbook has it this year, waiting to see her reaction!<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment!Choxboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741540918529448553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-57281074647072561232009-11-09T08:24:30.507-08:002009-11-09T08:24:30.507-08:00Poppy, you are right, this deferred gratification ...Poppy, you are right, this deferred gratification is certainly a useful lesson for our kids... and us!Sheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892316117026334238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27389926.post-85949350233658957492009-11-09T06:51:00.984-08:002009-11-09T06:51:00.984-08:00Poppy dear, thats a very moving review.
