A Book That Needs to Be Shared

I'm developing a definite liking for Amy Krouse Rosenthal's books. Many of them. I've used a couple of them in storytimes and blogged a different one previously (I Want to Be a Generalist). Here are some of the equations from her new one, This Plus That: Life's Little Equations:

1 + 1 = us

yes + no = maybe

smile + wave = hello
smile + ocean wave = beach

chalk + sitting = school
chalk + jumping = hopscotch

anything + sprinkles = better

blaming + eye rolling ≠ sincere apology
"I'm sorry" + hug = sincere apology

mumbling + toe staring ≠ polite
handshake + "how are you" = polite

practice + practice = learning
practice + practice + practice = mastering

chores ÷ everyone = family

soul + color = art
soul + words = literature
soul + sound = music
soul + movement = dance

good days + bad days = real life
once upon a time + happily ever after = pretend
