I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE LOVE having a neb around different classrooms. It's one of my favourite things about going to other schools.

Why do you love books so much? Well that's a loaded question and a half. It's a question my children (despite the fact I've taught them for 2 years now) have asked me.
