It’s so much better to skip over a passage or two in a wonderful book than to deprive of a child of the book altogether. Thanks for your comments.

So many times I pull the “new releases” off the library shelves and forget about the glorious stories of the past.

My daughter loves the 1950′s classic “The Lonely Doll” told in photographs by Dare Wright. Although I have to admit, I skip over the part where the doll and her teddy bear friend get a spanking.

I’m not sure “The Story of Ping” is in print, either, but “Swimmy” must be in every library in America. Thanks for the extra incentive to try to clear a space for it …

I wonder if that one is even still in print! Leo Lionni (Frederick, Swimmywas a favorite too. Oh! And my kids and I loved The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein! And, and…I’d better stop here before I get too excited.

Hope you’ll feel free to suggest other books that I’ve missed.

This series tend to be heavily influenced by the children’s classics I’ve read (or otherwise know about) and by what I can get at my library. But I know there are others I would love … so I always appreciate suggestions even if I can’t always act on them right away.

I love it.
