The Midnight Folk | John Masefield

I read this Book #1 in the Kay Harper duology in preparation for December‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024. The premise of the stories is fun, but some of the slang in the book made it a little difficult reading. Kay goes on a treasure hunt in his dreams- ? Or is it in real life?
We‘ll see what Kay Harper up to in his next book- The Box of Delights

TheBookHippie It‘s weird. Interesting it‘s very beloved across the pond! They‘re celebrating its anniversary this year - some readers on IG. Box of Delights that is. 2d
tpixie @TheBookHippie interesting! Midnight folk was very interesting. I‘m debating on whether I buy the Kindle edition of box of delights or keep trying to read the free version that you showed us. I might try to see if I can get my iPad working to use the free version that would be easier than my phone…. 2d
Tamra What a cute floof!! 2d

tpixie @Tamra @dabbe Ha! Floof is a perfect description! Her hair is getting long! She‘s going to the beauty shop tomorrow and I‘m going to get it shorter because it gets tangled so easily with her fine undercoat. I suspect she‘ll need to be wearing some Christmas sweaters for a while!! 2d
Tamra @tpixie even better! 2d

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.

LiseWorks So smart! 6d

Listened to this one for my #BookSpin - old fav pic. Gotta say, my daddy did way better voices 😓🖤

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1w
ImperfectCJ Your dad must have been awesome at voices! I love Peter Dennis's interpretations of the characters, especially Piglet. My kids listened to his narrations repeatedly for several years, and they're ingrained in my mind. 1w

It 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 think this is a great pick for students who love illustrations. I love how the cover contrasts the actual poems and inside of the book! Great pick for younger readers. Specifically 1st grade.

I would use this in an upper elementary grade classroom. This would be a perfect book to introduce the importance of children's books and why we have them today.

A great story of how children's came to be. Does a great job of explaining who John Newberry was and why children's books are so important. Children in school will love learning about John Newberry!
