I stopped buying gifts for my niblings years ago. They have all the stuff they could ever want. I buy savings bonds to put a few dollars away for their futures for birthdays and Christmas. So here I am bundled up and ready to sleep instead of being out shopping with the crowds.
pickIt was a strange feeling to read this story about German POWs in lower Michigan during WWII. I never knew POW camps existed in Michigan until I was an adult, and to discover this story has a connection to the teeny (teeny) tiny town I spent my early childhood in was just bizarre. I enjoyed the verse and the POVs of these two characters. I did not enjoy the very abrupt ending, though it's certainly fitting in any book on WWII.
I‘ve been dipping in and out of this book lately and it‘s marvellous!
My best friends and I do an annual reading getaway to an up-north cabin, and that weekend is finally here! Is 40 books too many? Inquiring minds would like to know... #CurrentlyReading #MittenLitten

I LOVED Kit Pearson when I was a kid, and I know I read this one a couple times (I was a big re-reader) but I don't remember much beyond its boarding school setting. @Karisimo
so-soHmmm. I should have remembered that while I adore reading picture books as an adult, I rarely enjoy children's chapter books. I did get a few picture book recommendations out of the early chapters! Of those chapter books covered by the author, I can only remember reading Charlotte's Web as a child, and I'm not sure I ever read the other exemplars provided. 1/?
What does The Juniper Tree mean? I couldn't begin to say. Is it a story for children? Not mine. Obviously the answer in this and all such cases is know the kids, THEY ARE PEOPLE, NOT A CATEGORY.“ 👏🏻 [Emphasis added]
“As we will find out, the mother in Cat in the Hat is so loopy she leaves her children in the care of a fish. Hers will be the house where all the kids go to smoke weed in high school.“
Pfft, judgy. 🙃 🫢
