children’s books
I could’ve read all night…
[Title is meant to be sung to the tune of "I could've danced all night..."]
I’ve made a delightful rediscovery - children’s books! Of course I have always liked my Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, A Little Princess, Betsy-Tacy, and All-of-a-Kind Family, among others. But there are so many more that I’d forgotten about! For instance…
Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret Sidney
Journey to America by Sonia Levitin
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry
Stuart Little by E.B. White
My Friend Flicka by Mary O’Hara
…and many, many more. Some of them are so well-written! I especially enjoy books like Journey to America, which I’m reading right now. It’s about a Jewish family fleeing Germany before World War II, so it deals with serious and sad subject matter. It’s very well-written and beautiful in its own way. But because it’s written for middle school or upper elementary age, it’s not going to have all of that “mature” content that adult fiction has. I get so tired of trying to read well-written mainstream fiction, only to find unnecessarily graphic material. Children’s books are a welcome reprieve.
