Dear Kate,
I'm very sorry to have to tell you this, but... my child is a book-ripper. As a librarian, you seem the appropriate person to whom to confess.
Yes, it's true. We were lucky with C and he somehow managed to make it past 2.5 years old with only 2 accidental pages torn in all that time. R, however, apparently finds great joy in tearing pages from books. And unfortunately, because C is so short, I can't keep the books away from R without also keeping them out of C's reach. I have had to repair at least a dozen books thus far. She even manages to mangle board books!
I will say that I am pretty proud of my book repair skills, but I do wonder at what point our home library will be more tape than book.
#confessionSunday - yeah, I'm making that a thing,
Bora
