Little Lord Fauntleroy | 
so-soIt was heartwarming and cute. Little Lord Fauntleroy is an American boy who finds out that he‘s the heir to earldom in Britain. He‘s a kindhearted boy that everyone loves and is better because of him, including the old Earl himself. It was a bit sickly sweet at times but overall enjoyable. And exciting that I own the first edition!
Today is a gorgeous spring day. I used my lockdown exercise time to walk to the local book swap and picked up these treasures.
Reading is always better with a cuddly fur baby😍
I‘m now starting this book that @Sarah83 gifted me🤗 I absolutely love the movie and hope that the book will be enjoyable as well😍
pickI absolutely loved this story, and I'm sure I'll be re-reading it many times in the future. Such a sweet tale to remind people that genuine humility and love for others will often bring out the best in people (even when that best isn't always easy to see) 💜 Very thankful for this story!

Here is my May #BookSpin list, @TheAromaofBooks 📚📚📚 I will be participating in #BookSpinBonanza 😊 I'm not sure how far I'll get, but I'm hoping that I can make a good effort since I have a lot of children's classics on my list!
pickSweet story. And everything turns out right in the end. Although, why exactly is Mr. Hobbs staying in England?
Starting this. Have never read it and it's been ages since I've seen the movie, I can hardly remember any of it.
pickSuch a gorgeous book 😍
I really loved the story and this cute kid. Such a wonderful story about love, friendship and how life can change everything. Definitely one of my favourite books within the last months. Thank you @TheBookHippie for that. 😍

Even if Christmas is already over, I dived in this cute story. I really loved the secret garden and I like this story pretty much until now. The little lord has already arrived in England and met his grandfather. 😊 @TheBookHippie hope to finish it in the next days. I ordered several 'children's books' yesterday and so I can join the February choice aswell 😍
pickI‘m so glad I read this children‘s classic. Such a delightful read about a little lord and how he was ‘jiggered‘ by his newfound earldom. Children‘s books are the best #inbetween reads.
Knickerbockers!! 😄

pickThe Secret Garden and A Little Princess were two of my favourites growing up and I can't believe I've never read this one! I'm glad I finally did. It is kind of saccharine as @merelybookish mentioned, but after some grim crime novels, it was just the kind of sweetness I needed 😁 Cedric, our little lord, is quite the amusing character. I was waiting for him to irritate me, but he didn't 😂 A cute read. #ChildrensClassicRead2019 @TheBookHippie
"Perhaps I got my spelling from them" ?
Maybe I went from grim Scandi-noir to bleak Swiss noir & in-between—the scented, beautiful, & depraved Genji who adopts the daughters of his dead lovers as a father figure & then, as those daughters grow to resemble their lovely mothers, he goes from Dad to "Damn, girl!"—maybe it's all of that, but I'm loving the change of pace in this sweet read for #ChildrensClassicRead2019 hosted by @TheBookHippie.
The book that launched a thousand pairs of knickerbockers.😁 Reading this for the children's classic readalong hosted by @TheBookHippie. A massive bestseller in its day (this is a poster for the 1888 Broadway production) about a little boy who #whenigrowup becomes an earl.
It's a bit on the saccharine side. 😬😜

Part 2 repost for @TheBookHippie :
I thought it would be fun to read Children‘s Classics for 2019. I have so enjoyed reading the Classics A to Z for 2018. Having an entire month for each classic gives time to explore the book, art and music related to it, time it was written in and movie if such exists. I look forward to reading this way!

1) Little Lord Fauntleroy - this is on German TV each winter, and as a kid I had to watch it every year.
2) shower? I slap the dirt off my back once a year. 👿 (morning, unless I was out and there were lots of smelly things around me, then I shower after getting home - sensitive nose)
3) don't have one
4) examining spoken Business English (as a 2nd language) tomorrow, decorating with the kids on Sunday.
5) Aye!

pickYeah, maybe this story is a little too sweet, a little too good. But I loved reading this to my daughter and giving her a little too much kindness, too much good, before bed.
#childprotagonists The author based her book on her son. I was so surprised to find out she grew up not far from here (Knoxville, TN) #photoadaynov16
