(More customer reviews)So I received N.R. scrapbook for a young boy in 1980 or 81 when I was 9 or 10 years old. I clearly remember getting it from my parents and thinking "what is this" (not in a good way). For years this blank scrapbook haunted the back reaches of my closet. A few times I moved it into the hall game closet or tossed it out, it would magically appear back in my room. My father was one not to waste even if it was something I would never use.
It wasn't until I moved out in my early 20's that I finally left it behind, forgotten in a box somewhere in the deep recesses of my parent attic.
Yet almost 20 years later it appears again in my home. My father, while cleaning out the attic, decided to bring a few momentos to our home while visiting his new grandson. Here it sits in pristine condition, the odd booklet of Norman Rockwell photos put to verse that makes one think "why what strapping you lad wouldn't enjoy this" - the reply being none. Followed by a few pages of scrap booking ideas for boys, and we all know how boys love to scrapbook. Right up there with doing taxes. Then a huge stack of construction paper. Now I am sure I had several occasions in need to this paper but my loath of this book made me put it out of my mind as an option.
This is now the kind of gift a spinster Great Aunt who had no children or all girls would give to a young boy, a thoughtless gift really. Why in my father's mind would he curse me with this book, I do not know. But I do know I need to put an end to this book and to make sure no one else makes this mistake.
Do not give this to a young boy or young man. Today I am trowing mine out, for good, once and for all.
And finally everything was right on the jungle.
