Why a Book?
Because a book enhances the use of my brain
Because a book encourages me to use my imagination
Because if it is a children’s title, I can read it for storytime and to my nieces & nephews
Because I like looking at beautiful photographs
Because I love to try new recipes
Why not a book?
Why a book
Because one you have read it, what you have taken away from it, can never be taken away from you.
And not a Duck?
Ducks belong outside in the yard
Ducks are messy
Ducks are noisy
Ducks chase people they don’t like
Ducks are for roasting Chinese style…YUMMY!
Ducks leave nothing for the imagination
You can’t take a duck (in the U.S.) on the bus/train with you
You really can’t take a duck to bed with you…you might take it into the bathtub with you…..but surely not….!
That is why…Not a Duck!
