A couple more reviews elsewhere...

AmoxCalli is gathering reviews of classic children's literature. So far, she has posted about Little Women and The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

What are some of your favorite classics for kids? I love love loved A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Happy weekending!

  1. My favorite books as a child were 'The Phantom TollBooth' (I must have worn the words right off the pages!) and 'Black Beauty'.

  3. Ah, F. H. Burnett. My favorite. I don't know how many times I've read "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" in the last 23 years, but they both still give me a thrill. I recommend them often but a lot of young readers today aren't interested in period pieces. It's a shame - they are both so magical. One of my favorite chapters of all time is "The Magic" from "A Little Princess."
