Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

After a PTA meeting, too! Which went okay, although our numbers aren’t what they used to be. Afterwards I talked to multiple people at the school before heading home and–quite literally–finishing the last three pages of Fingerprints: Dead People Do Tell Tales. (You’d think I’d have just finished it last night, but I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Which is generally what happens when I read in bed.) Now, full disclosure? I only picked it up from the library because the author has written some fantastic nonfiction picture books. Still, I learned some really interesting things about fingerprinting and the history of criminal investigation, so it was definitely well worth my time. At a little over 100 pages–with illustrations (mostly photographs)–it’s accessible for a wide variety of ages and is a great choice for people who enjoy crime shows or have a scientific interest in fingerprinting but don’t have as much time to read as they’d like.

Know anybody like that?
