New Books Old Memories

I got in some new books today!  One I am excited to read is What is the Story of Looney Tunes.  This is one of the books in a group of books Who is, What is, etc.  If you don't know what Looney Tunes is, I will explain.  Back when I was a kid, you know, many decades ago, I was excited to come home from school and turn on "Dr. Max and Mombo" show.  This show was taped in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  One was a grandpa-figure man and the other was a very tall clown.  During the show, Dr. Max would maybe interview someone and introduce the next cartoon and once in a while, Mombo would show a clown trick.  The cartoons shown on this show were usually Looney Tunes.  These cartoons had Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the Cat and many more!  These were clean and fun shows.  Something you could always count on to laugh after maybe a tough day of lessons, tests, or even getting teased.  With what is happening currently, I feel bad that not only do our students not get excited to go home and watch a great show like Dr. Max and Mombo but kids today do not know how funny Looney Tunes is.  "We didn't realize we were making memories we just knew we were having fun" (Winnie the Pooh).
