Classics at Our House!

  



What makes a classic? I have often heard it said that a book is a
classic if it stands the test of time. I guess that means if someone
from generation A writes a book and people from generation B are still
reading it, then it must be a classic. Following this guideline leads me
to believe that many of the books my daughter owns might be classics.



No,
I don't just think they might be; I will say with certainty that they
are! I can make this statement because I read them when I was her age well
over thirty years ago (said under mumbled breath). I know of course that
comment makes me sound very aged     (I mean wise), but that is a story for
another day.



Some of the books bulging out of my daughters book shelves include: Goodnight
Moon, The Little Red Hen,  Corduroy, The Country Mouse and the
City Mouse, and The Monster at the End of This Book. Books that, when I saw them at the flea market a few years ago, caused me to squeal in delight, "I had those books when I was a little girl!"



And
if you are wondering; yes, I did get some strange looks from others
standing nearby. But being the true book lover that I am, I merely
shrugged it off knowing that those poor unfortunate souls would never
know the joy that I did. So go out and find some classics of your own and share them with your special half pints!
