I don’t know much about the Children’s Book Store. I’m pretty sure I was never in it so I don’t know where I got the bookmark. I also don’t know what happened to the store as it’s not at this location anymore and probably no longer exists. At least I couldn’t find anything about it online.
I love the way the bookmark lets you make a list of the books you’ve read on the back. Things like that were lots of fun when I was a kid.
Book: Great Is the Truth: Secrecy, Scandal, and the Quest for Justice at the Horace Mann School by Amos Kamil with Sean Elder


I donโt think your โbooks wot I have readโ index would fit on the back of that.๐ Fun bookmark for kids, if they still read books.

Yeah, now that kids don’t read books they don’t need checklists. Or bookmarks.

That’s a great way for a kid to learn to start keeping track of what they have read. They’ll appreciate it in 20 years ๐

I think I did have something like this when I was a kid, but I didn’t keep it. The world’s loss!

and most parents are busy enough so it’s not like they are going to do that for their kids. Getting them dressed and fed is a win ๐
