We took Sean on BART again, this time to Fremont which gave him three stops to ride through. Of course, he was thrilled and
let everyone else in our train car know. Besides riding the train we also got to ride an elevator and an escalator.
Two blocks
west of the Fremont station there is a small strip mall. At the northern end of the mall there is a wonderful bookstore called
Half Price Books. They seem to specialize in reselling books from publishers at discounted prices. I saw a bunch of titles
from the few local publishing houses (including Scholastic which has a warehouse in Hayward). I didn't see any book that
cost more than $5.
We found for Sean a lovely book about a mother cricket who teachers her son to sing cricket songs. In the book the crickets
meet a variety of creatures: butterflies, dragonflies, a nightingale, an owl (big plus as far as Sean is concerned), spiders,
and frogs. Even though I've now read the book to Sean about a dozen times I can't for the life of me remember what the book
is called. I'll have to look the next time Sean and I read it.
