Sunday 160: "In Search Of"

Monkey Man's Sunday 160 Challenge happens today. Because it's, y'know, Sunday. A story in 160 characters-no more, no less, called "In Search Of" and dedicated to Wyatt Christopher Couchoud's older, savvier, and more train-oriented brother, Simon.










“Where's Goldbug on this page?”, he asks hopefully.
My nephew,tiny dirty feet and eager eyes searching the same book
that others read to me.
The search goes on.

  2. The mark of a good book is one that gets handed down through the generations.

  6. Really great 160. Reminds me of my kids' favorite Golden Book that still sits on the shelf "The Large and Growly Bear".

  10. Indeed, Richard Scarry's "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go". Not quite up to reading the story yet, but we're getting good at spotting that Goldbug!

    Thanks for reading.

  12. Very nice 160. You have such a way with words, even with only 160 characters to work with.
