Books to keep Calvin entertained when we were out of town

Calvin and I recently took a momentous trip out to Minnesota to be with my father so that he wouldn't be lonely while he was dying of lung cancer.

The problem was that we went through the Minneapolis airport and Calvin didn't seem to have enpugh toys. But he saw the book "Don't let the pigeon Drive the Bus" and he sat there and pointed to it, saying "bus! bus!" The book was on the shelf, and so and I read it to him, and ended up buying a stuffed pigeon that says "Let me drive the bus!"

I also bought a book by Matthew Van Sant, called "Monday the Bullfrog." The book is a puppet and a stuffed bullfrog and a pop-up book all in one. I love it.

I had to get him some things that would keep him entertained for a couple of weeks...even though it ended up being over a month because we waited until dad died. These books got us through and kept us entertained.
