As a result, we've accumulated a pile of half shredded, completely ripped, and utterly demolished books and I'm not sure what to do with them. They can't just litter the play area and I'd feel strange throwing them out. In 1812, German poet Heinrich Heine prophetically said, "where they burn books they will eventually burn people." It seems like a sin to dispose of a book. Maybe I should just put them out to pasture somewhere but that seems like littering.
Who would have thought that The Very Hungry Caterpillar could one day cause such a vexing moral dilemma?
Recycle ripped and torn books unless you feel a need to repair them! Repairing books is a great skill to develop, especially if Baby J loves the books she's demolishing. She isn't going to care that it's taped together! As she rips and tears, you skill is bound (no pun intended) to develop and improve!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Rita. I'm going to do that.
