If I would allow (had I the time on hand), the one place that my girls would love to be in from morning till night is the book store. Their favorite is Borders and MPH. Before we step into any book store, I have to set a condition – either no purchase of books (if I had already bought them new storybooks within the same month) or set a budget. Without setting terms and conditions, which I had done in the past, I can be rest assured of frenzied persuasion, whines, tears, me snapping at them and everyone leaving the mall sulking. I wish there was a public library near our neighborhood so that we need not have to dig dip into our wallets to spend on story books every month.
The girls’ ‘I-never-want-to-leave’ corner at Borders…

And by the way, have I mentioned that Alycia has a fetish on stationery items too besides books?

It is a blessing that your girls like books. It is certainly better than kids addicted to toy shops while shopping.
You may try Bookxcess at Amcorp Mall. Their book are half the price from the normal bookstore. The BigBadWolf sale is just around the corner. It is a bargain to get books from the fair.
Joanne, I have stopped bringing them to the toy store for ages already – too big for toys now :S
Jo, I’ll check out Bookxcess @ Amcorp Mall, tks for letting me know!
It’s wonderful that your girls love book. It says kids that read all type of books especially those literature books do help a lot on their essay / karangan writing.
I like the second of Alycia, she looks so girly and pretty.
It’s good that your girls love books! I need to cultivate that interest in my kids.
Our whole family love books!
