So many great ideas here so I had to pin it! I'll have to get some of these out of the library for myself too! As I scrolled through it took me back to my childhood favourites and I was excited to see you had a lot of them listed, like Marguerite Henry's, Little House on the Prairie, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Jane Austen's, etc! I may have just missed them, but if you don't have them listed I'd recommend The Jesus Storybook Bible, the Anne of Green Gables series, and The Borrowers Afield. Now you have me wanting to curl up with the series I'm currently loving, The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (set in Botswana!).

ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up my favorites were "A Wrinkle in Time" "A Wind in the Door" and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" by Madeline L'Engle. I also loved "The Giver" "Gathering Blue" and "Messenger" by Lois Lowry. If Margaret gets interested in a series, "The Boxcar Children" was also a favorite! Oh how I love books!!!
