nikrix Report post Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Yes had that one and I had to go out and found a book on the great fire of london. That was not as easy as you think, it had to be just right with the right pictures, took us ages to find it and she went on about it for weeks and the book went every-where with her.

loulou Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Hi, Does she like fish? If so, you could always take her to the London Aquarium (really cool). It's just across the river from BB, and you get a really good view of it from there, and it's not too loud. Loulou x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet Report post Posted January 7, 2006 This reminds me so much of when I was a child and teenager and would read the same book over and over. At one point I got the same book out of the library for six months Now I just tend to stick to the same genre. My husband can't understand why I love reading whodunnits, even though I know whodoneit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
