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

TheKidUpstairs @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian when I searched this one on Goodreads to get the cover image, your review from back in 2016 popped up! 3mo
Karisimo Nice one! Thanks for posting!! 3mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @TheKidUpstairs Cool! I also don't remember much about this book. 3mo

Mehso-so

Hmmm. 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/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 It's not really fair to say this book isn't what I thought it would be, because I'm still a little fuzzy on how one could write about loving reading children's books as an adult without it being an in depth analysis of certain books (though I'm not sure coverage of the authors' lives was necessary) and themes found within them. I'll continue my pattern of sporadically checking out picture books from the library, having my own joyful moments. 5mo

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. 🙃 🫢

“I also bring up Portnoy 's Complaint to highlight the fact that books for very young children occupy a rare literary preserve where mom and dad don't fuck you up.“ 👀
Audiobook read by the author is a chill, good time.
