My Teaser:

I had run upstairs, where the adults were having cocktails, several times, saying, "You need to come down and see this, I think what happening is really special," to which they smiled and sent me on my way, maybe coming down one at a time, drinks tinkling in their hands, to see what I was up to. Oh, a football game, how cute.

~ Page 96, Bermuda Shorts - James J. Patterson

    Interesting teaser. I don't quite know what to make of it, but it's true that adults often don't pay enough attention to what kids are telling them.

    Ah, adult condescension. Sounds familiar, but I wonder what's really going on. Nice teaser!

    That's a great teaser! It makes you wonder if there really is something important going on, and all the condescending people are totally missing it.

    My own teaser, meanwhile, is at Bookishgal.

    Well that's interesting. What's this book about? Thanks for visiting my teaser. I liked Tyger Tyger, but it was very similar to The Iron King and I liked the latter better. I'm posting my review of The Iron King tomorrow.

    We ended the day with a movie at RadioCity Music Hall and a carriage ride around Cental Park. I leaned against my father's scratchy shirt and felt my eyes start to close.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
