My first go at a blog hop…I hope I get it right. And what better topic to begin on than children’s books.
My ongoing sorting out of the books, post-building work, means that I seem to have filled one of these, top to bottom, just with children’s books. (Plus two extra shelves added in.)
So you can kind of guess that I like them – we all do really, including Junior Reader, whose independent book reading is gathering pace.
My link is one for a post I wrote a while ago, but a book I love, and return regularly to. Ostensibly a book for teens, there’s plenty of wisdom there for adults too.
Click here to start hopping…to see which children’s books other readers enjoy.
For anyone reading here for the first time, you can click the Reading link on the top right of the screen to see other book-related posts.
There’s also a series on reading that I wrote over January this year, Everything I Know I Learned From Books. Some other children’s books, some for adults, and a whole mix of other reads.
I can’t finish without a thought in the direction of A A Milne, who had plenty to say about hopping:
“If he stopped hopping
He couldn’t go anywhere
Poor little Christopher
Couldn’t go anywhere
That’s why he always goes
Hoppity, hoppity
Hoppity
Hoppity
Hop.”
