I see wonderful things.

Blogger discovers one big dang dust bunny under bed.

What's down there? Dust bunnies. Alert the press! Fan Lord Carnarvon! The excitement is killing him.

Should I unseal the tomb and excavate the condo or plan Wednesday's storytime? Brainstorm storytime, obviously.

And the storytime could be about ... "Read to Your Dust Bunnies", with apologies to Rosemary Wells.

Read to your dust bunnies

What sort of children's literature do dust bunnies prefer?  Of course they would like a book starring themselves.

Walk this way

“...as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful things.” 

Artifacts

Howard Carter can't find his Special Bunny

Three other fun books for children about important missing objects:

• Below, by Nina Crews. 
• Flora's Blanket, by Debi Gliori
• A Pair of Socks, by Stuart Murphy

And what do those hieroglyphics say on the tomb wall?  Do not, do not ever lose the Special Bunny!
