'Lassie' and other old favorite children's books come home again to a new generation

As someone who still loves to read the older children's books, this came as good news. I'll be collecting a few for the library's children's collection.

We still have a couple of holes in our Newbery/Caldecott reference collection that will be filled in as we can find copies.

So what was your favorite book as a child? The one you can't wait to read to your own kids, be they close kin or school kids? Mine was "Half Magic" by Edward Eager, published the year I was born.

My Mom used to read The Chronicles of Narnia to my sister and me when we were young, and I loved those. Also Edward Eager's books, and probably some others that I can't think of right now. :)

Of Course We Closed

Funny to read that last post and realize within a week we were in the process of closing, too. By March 13, Dr. Krull had it under consider...
