Children's Classics Monthly Read

[Lisa, the usurper]

It is time to nominate for February and March! Any ideas?

[☯Emily]

Has the group read Caddie Woodlawn?

[Lisa, the usurper]

Yes, we read it in January 2013. There should be a discussion post for it. I'm not sure if there was much discussion on it, if there is an interest, maybe we can do a reread?

One of my favorites from my own childhood is Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik first published in 1957.
The illustrations are by Maurice Sendak, before he wrote Where the Wild Things Are.

So, would you like to read this one for February. If I remember correctly, it is not long or hard at all.

[Sorento62]

Right, Little Bear is for young kids, so it is short. Charming and warm. Little Bear's mother is very loving.

I'm good with this one. I shall have to find this in the bookshelf and read it to my younger kids.

I don't know if this is the same Little Bear I read to my children when they were small. That book came accompanied by an actual, well when I say 'actual' I mean stuffed, little bear. I've no idea where it is though. I probably enjoyed it more than the children. :)

It is time to pick a new read or two for the children's read! Does anyone have a nominations?

[Sorento62]

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

[Suzanne]

I'll nominate Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. (But The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is definitely a good book to read.)

[Lisa, the usurper]

I like both of those choices and it is hard to believe that we have not read either of them yet.
