I am with John on this one. That book belongs to Liz, presumably. Is Elly worried about lowering the resale value or saving the book for some other kid to read? There is a certain irony in having done a whole week of dailies devoted to the idea that the kids these days don’t know how to write only to have a Sunday strip where the mom is essentially encouraging her daughter not to read. Better a dogeared book that was read and enjoyed than a book the kid was afraid to touch for fear of ruining it.
