<p>That said, it is now time to set Pink free to roam the planet and have people take from him what they will.<br />

<strong>What I envisage is:</strong></p>
<p>- you read the book and add your thoughts to the comment section of this post being sure to let me know where the book is located at the moment<br />
- you write your first name, the date &amp; your location somewhere in the book<br />
- you throw it out to your Personal Learning Network, &#8216;Who would like to read Pink?&#8217;<br />
- you send the book to the first cap off the rank but let them know they can&#8217;t hang onto it for more than a month<br />
- they then repeat the process.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s see where Daniel Pink ends up or how many times he is sent on before someone steals him <img src='http://adrianbruce.com/teacher-toolbox/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>FYI IMHO &#8211; The honour of worst book I&#8217;ve read in the 21C goes to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0330436805?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adribrucdotco-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0330436805">Zombie Bums from Uranus</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adribrucdotco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0330436805" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> by Andy Griffith. hehehehehe</div>

<p>Today when I was sorting through some photos and this one brought a smile.</p>
<p>A few months ago when I was doing the washing up Miss Emily was on the floor behind me and then the next moment she was gone. My heart was in my mouth for just a second. I called to her and she replied with this gem. I&#8217;ve recorded her words using the PC version of <a style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" title="Comic Life" href="&lt;a href=">Comic Life</a>.</p>
<p>The book she was in love with at the time was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0207177716?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adribrucdotco-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0207177716">Looking for Crabs</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=adribrucdotco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0207177716" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. We now MUST look for crabs every time we go to the beach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody"><img src="http://www.adrianbruce.com/blogimages/march08/wordwork.jpg" alt="Amazon Books" align="left" border="0" height="240" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="240" />In Australia books are rather expensive e.g for me to buy my son a paperback copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060560711?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=adribrucdotco-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0060560711">Rowan of Rin </a> for his birthday it will cost c.$14 US here, yet through Amazon it only costs $5.99 + postage. Needless to say I do a bit of shopping through Amazon <img src='http://adrianbruce.com/teacher-toolbox/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>In the last couple of years I&#8217;ve added an Amazon Wishlist to my site. In that time I&#8217;ve probably received one &#8216;wish&#8217; in return for every 500 000 educational resources I give away.</p>
<p>Today was another one of those nice moments when a delivery truck pulled up and I had to sign for an Amazon parcel. Sue B in the UK gifted me this woodwork book for all the resources she uses with her students.</p>
<p><!--adsense#small--></p>
<p>The message read, <em>&#8220;To Adrian, I think your resources are amazing. Thank you so much. Sue B, Arleseey, UK.&#8217;</em></p>
<p>So Sue, just to let you know that this book is going in the cupboard until my son&#8217;s birthday on March 28th. He is going through a phase where he loves to build stuff with wood. Thank you soooo much for your generosity. It is truly appreciated!<br />
Cheers</p>
<p>Adrian</p></div>
