Thanks to @TheBookHippie and #ChildrensClassicRead2025 for reminding me that I had this sweet (tagged) book waiting on my shelves. And, as others have mentioned, the illustrations are gorgeous!

I always pick up these New York Review Children‘s Collection editions when I spot them in used bookshops.

TheBookHippie I do too!!! I love these little books!! 2w
merelybookish Me too!! I found one a few weeks ago: The Lost Island. 2w

April #childrensclassicread2025

I enjoyed this sweet little story of Mary and her mouse house but mostly I enjoyed the illustrations, they felt very nostalgic for my childhood reading days.

Such a cute book with adorable illustrations! 🐭 🏡
I finally read an archive book that @TheBookHippie shared the link of.
It‘s much easier to read on my computer than my phone. 🤩
I love the library card 🩵
Juniata College Library is now named L A Beeghly Library & Juniata College was founded in 1876 by members of the Church of the Brethren.

This book had been on my shelves for years and I now finally picked it up. It‘s set in Amsterdam, where I live, in the 17th century, when we sailed the oceans and colonized countries and were a very wealthy trading country. That background is interesting to me, more interesting than the plot to be honest. But all in all a fairly good read and a light pick.

Suet624 Great to finally get it off your shelf! 2mo
Lesliereadsalot You live in Amsterdam!? I was there once at tulip time on a small boat cruise around all the waterways. Lucky you to live in such a cool city! 2mo
TheBookHippie I liked this light read. I‘m with you the background was the best part. 2mo

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie we obviously feel the same. An enjoyable read! 2mo
BarbaraBB @Lesliereadsalot It is a good place to live. Let‘s hope it stays that way in this world going crazy. 2mo
Rissreadswithcats I didn‘t realise you lived in Amsterdam! My son spent 6 mths in Rotterdam in 2023 playing cricket and is going back again for 3 mths this year, but this time he will be in Utrecht. I wish I could go over to spend some time with him. 2mo
BarbaraBB @Rissreadswithcats Did he have a good time in Rotterdam? Utrecht is great too, though smaller. Is your son a professional player? I wish you could come too. Where do you live? 2mo
Rissreadswithcats He isn‘t a professional player but he‘s very good, one step down so the cricket clubs will sponsor players from other countries like Australia. They get there flights and accommodation paid for and a small wage while they are there. He is 23 so I‘m glad he is doing his thing and having fun and seeing the world. If I do get over (I would have to win some money! But stranger things have happened!) I would def let We live in Perth, Western Australia. 2mo
BarbaraBB @Rissreadswithcats That is quite the trip for your son as “young” as he is! But you‘re right to be glad for him, it sounds so cool! ❤️ 2mo
