The Voracious Reader is around the corner and down the block from Anderson's. It opened in 2007 and specializes in children's books (though they have recently partnered with NPR to carry a handful of adult titles). I had a lovely conversation with the owner, first about Peter Brown's new book, Mr. Tiger Goes Wild (she's predicting a Caldecott) and then later about how I am working her dream job (elementary school librarian) and she's working mine.
Purchases included Nora Raleigh Baskin's new book, Runt, The Unwanteds: Island of Fire (this is book three in the series) and a picture book biography of Albert Einstein by Jennifer Berne, On a Beam of Light. I also took the opportunity to donate a book to a local charity.
