Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you @megnews for solving the #ER #BlackMainCharacterPublishedBefore2000 conundrum, which had me totally stumped - I found a 1982 copy (originally published 1950) of another of Margaret Hillert‘s books, this one about a small child who likes collecting, sorting & arranging things - buttons, stamps, shells. A traditional #ER book containing 64 repeated words, that‘s stood the test of time. This one‘s also been reissued with new illustrations.

I chose this for #bbrc #er #blackmaincharacterpublishedbefore2000. It was hard to find an ER to fit this, as my library is really on top of weeding and replacing children‘s books as they age. This was 1st published in 1989, but had been reprinted. It needs a new update, but the info is good. The sentence structure & vocab used is great for new readers trying to become stronger readers. Inspiring story.
