The Jolly Postman, Caps For Sale, Strega Nona and some American Girl classics. It was incredible how the childhood memories flooded back... I felt like I had just read them days ago, not years and years ago.

We read Charlotte's Web, the Laura Ingals books, The Secret Garden, and we've been discovering some new ones, too. Such good times!

And webs as works of art. Much as I love that book, I'd have to pick all the "little house" books as all time favorites. Madeleine L'engle is special to me because her memoirs are so honest and her path to great success was rocky and long. So unbelievable to think of herVirginia McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742085109270186669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-29124226343068615802017-10-12T09:46:23.629-07:002017-10-12T09:46:23.629-07:00It was so long ago I just remember that we always ...It was so long ago I just remember that we always had books around.

They supported each other through the death of Charlotte. The boys dropped their jaw over Farmer Boy getting donuts for breakfast!?! And they all became enraged over the aunts' abuse in James and the Giant Peach. I feel honored to have helped create lifetime memories. Anne of Green Gables was and is M. K.

I was a teacher-librarian before retiring and loved to buy new books for,kids and especially, recommend old favourites. I re- read Anne of Green Gables for a course a few years ago and loved it all over again. Another favourite was Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit, which posed the question, “what if you could live forever”, would that be a Janice Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199889861936957390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-81288234757349457562017-10-12T06:01:39.048-07:002017-10-12T06:01:39.048-07:00I've read all of those but the Secret Garden. ...I've read all of those but the Secret Garden.
