some of the books I saved from my childhood? Because I’m a “saver”, through the last 30+ years I have hung onto some my old paperbacks. They’re not even “classics”, just books I had bought with my own money in grade school through the “Scholastic Book Club” and read over and over again. I got to bring some of them out last night because my oldest daughter is now reading chapter books and had already gone through all the ones we had in the house. I gave her a handful of my old favorites; she chose “What’s for lunch, Charley?” as her first choice. So last night before bed she read me the first chapter. What an odd, yet wonderful, feeling, to have my own daughter read to me a book which I had read over and over to myself so long ago. But will these books stand the test of time? We’ll see … but hey, they can’t possibly be worse than Junie B. Jones books (which are not allowed in our house!).
