The Wuggie Norple Story

We had a visit from Cloe today! She asked Jeff to read her a story- so out came one of our favorite children's books, "The Wuggie Norple" story by Daniel M. Pinkwater and illustrated by Tomie De Paola. It's the story of a cat, Wuggie Norple, who starts out as a kitten and grows... well... I don't want to spoil the story for you! I just love Cloe's expression in the upper right hand picture. It's not a great shot, out of focus as it is, but her face is priceless. I just had to post it!

@crickle1969 Thanks Chrystal- lol I'm now looking at my pictures and realizing that Daniel Pinkwater wrote the story and Tomie illustrated it. I will have to amend that! I love his illustrations though!
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!

I love their facial expressions ... how delightful to see the smiles and the total concentration! What a great collage for her to see as she gets older. Frame this one, Ann.

I just love the expression on her faces in this collage..don't they all like to listen to a nice story read by grandpa (it is grandpa yes?)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!

Cloe is our neighbor, but she's very special to us. She loves to come and visit.

[Lyn]

Oh, the collage is amazing. . .how lucky she is to have you as neighbors!

[Rick Schies]

Nothing like a good book, and a good animator.

Wonderful capture of the joy of a story being told, especially the top right photo! Fav for me!

[davide]

She looks so cute! Children love being read story books

[Dione Giorgio]

Magnificent collage. I love all those different expressions on her pretty little face.

[summerfield]

i love seeing the genuine expressions in a child's face. it is a reassurance that the world is still a good place to be. i wish i could capture the boys like this, but they move too much especially when they know a camera is on to them. your collage showing cloe's expressions is priceless!

[Carole Imes]

I love her expressions. She's adorable! Cute collage.

[Mrs. Smith]

Cute pictures to document a fun time.

[Jennifer]

Awww, so adorable!! Great collage!!

[AutomaticSlim]

A picture which tells a story about telling a story ... how very cool :-)

[Allison Williams]

This is priceless! The enthusiasm and engagement in sweet Cloe's face tells a story all its own. Definitely a fav of this librarian's!

Thank you again to each and every one of you. As you can see, although Cloe thinks she is being entertained by us, it is quite the opposite! And she truly is a very expressive little girl- we have so much fun!
