She won the Newbury Honor a few years ago for her book Princess Academy. The Goose Girl series is also excellent). Hope you like them as much as I do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565592493893291274.post-28635482088042267342008-02-20T13:54:00.000-05:002008-02-20T13:54:00.000-05:00we just finished little house in the big woods yes...we just finished little house in the big woods yesterday. i really love reading about how kids got their hide tanned, and letting ella know how nice her own parents are (are we spoiling her?). she really enjoyed the book too. we started the BFG with her, but she got kind of lost with his mixed up words. it may be fun for miriam, or other roald dahl books, he's my favorite.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08654925200448060090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565592493893291274.post-9794011961241085632008-02-20T03:01:00.000-05:002008-02-20T03:01:00.000-05:00We read her the Secret Garden, and the Big House i...We read her the Secret Garden, and the Big House in the lIttle Woods.

It was so fun for me to read when I was young what life was like without microwaves, or cars, or supermarkets.

I think she would probably understand it. Anne of Green Gables is pretty mature, actually. Or of course, A Wrinkle in Time. There's also a book I read a lot when I was young about a hobo who lived in France and then ended up befriending a down on their luck gypsy (?) family-- he gets a job to help support them and they move into a real house. I can't remember what it's called, dang it. I'll check it out.Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.com
