On Sunday, April 25, we ventured to Westwood to attend the LA Times/UCLA Festival of Books. It was a great time! Of course, we spent most of our time there at the Children's Stage.
The first item of business was to see the Fresh Beat Band perform. Rebecca was hilarious! She was a bit incredulous about them. Then she took the newspaper insert that had info on all the events at the festival and turned to the page where they were featured. She'd look at the picture of the band in the newspaper and then look at them on stage. Finally, she took the page and held it up to face the band as they performed. It was so funny!
The next performance we saw was of the author of the Llama Llama books reading from her three of her books. These are a favorite of ours. There was a special treat....Little Llama was there! Rebecca really enjoyed hearing the books read and seeing one of her favorite book characters in "person."
Rebecca also got to meet Joe Bruin and Josie Bruin. I think that was the highlight of the day for Ramy.
It was a really fun day, especially since the weather was gorgeous. Of course, we came home with a lot of new books, including some travel books in anticipation of our trip to Paris later this summer.
