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

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. 🙃 🫢
“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.
"The old street lamp" is a beautiful tale about leaving behind a whole life (hopefully) well lived. It can be interpreted in various ways: it could be about retirement, death, our place in our family. A warm and magical tale you can read here: https://tardisgrades.blogspot.com/2024/04/a-tale-day-old-street-lamp.html?m=1
