I'm so sick of snow. Of course that could be because we have 4 feet of it. You should see the snowbanks! It's insane.
I was surprised how many of the books on your list I had read! My favorites growing up that aren't on the list are A Wrinkle in Time, Walk Two Moons and Charlotte's Web :D.
I've never heard of Walk Two Moons so I'm going to have to check that out from the library.
As for A Wrinkle in Time and Charlotte's Web... I hate those books, lol. Or not hate precisely, they are just stories I could never for the life of me get in. However, they are immensely popular so something must be wrong with me.
Oh my gosh. Never read Walk Two Moons?? All of Sharon Creech's novels are great but I'd recommend you read:
01. Walk Two Moons 02. Absolutely Normal Chaos 03. Bloomability
to start. There are a bunch of others and they are all just barely connected in that awesome circular universe kind of way.
I'm not sure I love Charlotte's Web so much as I love the recording we have of it with E.B. White reading. It rocks. Also, what about...
Stuart Little Ballet Shoes Betsy & Tacey (come on now, aren't you a MN girl?) Daddy Long-Legs Island of the Blue Dolphins The Golden Compass Swallows and Amazons Half Magic
lalala. Can you tell my grandma and great grandma were both children's librarians? Love me some old-fashioned kid-lit.
Stuart Little and The Trumpeter Swan... I like those E.B. White books a lot more than Charlotte's, but now you've got me interested in the audio reading. I'll have to see if I can find that.
That's so cool that you had so many children's librarians in your family! I'm considering becoming a childrens/teen librarian because well, I really love the literature from those periods.
Butt in all you want!! Obviously I need to read this book. So many people have recommended it now and I feel kind of dumb for never even hearing of it until now.
