ChildrensClassicRead2019

pick

I like to read series in publication order, so read this book first before the March #ChildrensClassicRead2022 pick. Upon finishing, I realized it‘s actually the 2nd book in the series!😂No matter, it was very sweet and reminded me of simpler times.❤️ 4/5⭐️

Faves of 2019 #adventrecommends Dec 17

An atmospheric, magical tale that totally won me over with its setting, writing, characters. A perfect children's book. It's been on my TBR forever so cheers to @TheBookHippie for including this in the #ChildrensClassicRead2019 🙂

batsy @merelybookish @kspenmoll I love that vintage cover, too. Not mine, sadly! 4y

batsy @TheBookHippie Yes! 4y

Literary_Siren They made this a movie! From Time to Time staring Dame Maggie Smith! That‘s how I discovered the book. The movie might still be on Netflix. 4y

batsy @Literary_Siren I will definitely look for this on our Netflix! Can't go wrong with Maggie Smith ❤️ 4y

LeahBergen On my shelf and needing to be bumped up the TBR! 4y

batsy @LeahBergen I think you'll really enjoy it 🙂 4y

Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Read-Aloud Treasury | Johnny Gruelle

Marcella, the authors daughter, died after being given a mandatory smallpox vaccination at school at 13. Her loss was devastating. 💔 I have a small pox vaccine scar under my arm, as opposed to on my shoulder like most folks. My pediatrician at the time did not like marring little girls for life. This of course dates me, they stopped vaccinating in the early 1970s as smallpox has been eradicated. #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2019

Wife It dates me too. Mine is on my upper arm, but is so faded that I can‘t see it or remember which arm it‘s on. I have read a couple time travel books that have mentioned the smallpox vaccine scar; Outlander comes to mind. 💉 4y

NeedsMoreBooks I am joining this as I haven‘t read too many from this list 😭😭 4y

Bookwormjillk How fun! 4y

GingerAntics I haven‘t read any of these, so I‘d love to give it a go. I loved Anne of Green Gables as a child, so I‘ve always wanted to explore more of LM Montgomery‘s works. I love dragons, so the second one looks fun. Isn‘t that one illustrated by the same guy that did Winnie the Pooh? My life is complete! Count me in!!! 4y

LinesUponAPage Great selection of books. The Emily of New Moon series is even more of a favorite series than Anne of Green Gables, and Anne is my kindred spirit! 😉 4y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics YES!! I had the same feelings about reading more LM Montgomery. I think it is. I was doing research to find children‘s classics. These all spoke to me on some level. This past year doing this practice has helped my stress level more than one would imagine 15-20 even 10 minutes could do in the morning. ❤️📖 4y

TheBookHippie @NeedsMoreBooks as many children‘s books as I‘ve read I still find lovely new to me books to read. It‘s amazing how many get overlooked. 4y

GingerAntics I‘ve also noticed the vast majority (if not all) are in the public domain, so it‘s literally free to read these. I find quality children‘s literature still speaks to adults and there are many added layers, possibly for the adults that may end up reading these to kids. 4y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I ended up reading all my 2019 books aloud to kids and teens alike. They loved it. Should be free to read them all, I tried anyway ❤️ I agree to the layers it‘s all just so good. ! 4y

Butterfinger I would like to join. It would be lovely to reread Emily of New Moon and I'm not familiar with the others except for Family Under the Bridge. 4y

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger Yay!!! I post at the beginning and end of the month sometimes during its way laid back ...I‘m excited to read Emily! 4y

Hazel2019 I‘ll be joining! This looks like so much fun! 😊 4y

Lindy What a lovely project! I might join you some of the time. 4y

I‘m so very thankful I set this up for myself this year and others who have followed along. In this horrific news cycle having a sweet book to read in the mornings with my coffee throughout the month has been a gift! Join in if you wish! I‘ll definitely be doing this again in 2020.

Look @TheBookHippie a little late but I‘m reading it now! #childrensclassicread2019

Are you having a go at this one @batsy ?

batsy That's a lovely edition! I've fallen off the wagon with this challenge 🙈 Won't be taking part this month (don't have a copy). I'm going to check the schedule to see if I have the books for the next two months :) 4y

Centique @batsy I‘ve always been a Peter Pan fan so this was just a good excuse to get a copy. 😉The printing on this paperback though is just a tiny bit off “square” with the page - which is annoying. That has happened to me once before with Book Depository. Oh well - not the biggest problem! 4y

TheBookHippie It‘s so enjoyable!!! Sweetness. I need to read it for sanity 🤣❤️📖. 4y

Centique @TheBookHippie reading it now and I totally agree! 😍 4y
