Oh yes I remember them. The teacher had an extremely large book just like our small one and it was on an easel and we all read it from the big book. I never read much for pleasure until about the last 3 years after gettin hooked on quilting novels. I always figured I had to have something to show for my time but have decided that it is good for me to read as it is relaxing. I could live without TV except quilting shows. I now spend my time quilting and reading and once in a while cleaning and cooking. Of course I always find time for my 7 grandchildren and one due anytime now. My 9 year old twin grandson have decided that they are interested as well in sewing. They made jackets, scarves, for their guenia pigs (sp). LOL
