Twenty and Ten
AuthorClaire Huchet Bishop
ISBN0140310762
This must have been one of the earliest historical fiction children titles for World War II, since it came out in 1952. I probably read it in the 1960s. It meets one of my main problems with WWII lit for young kids: while it makes it clear that it was a case of life and death for the kids, it never actually says...
The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
AuthorMay Gibbs
ISBN0207170614


Not, you never said that Snugglepot and Cuddlepie was a sex-and-violence-infused philosophically-motivated Scandinavian-themed retelling of Genesis. WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?

Classic Tales of Brer Rabbit

I love Brer Rabbit. Song of the South was re-released in theaters when I was 6 years old and I fell in love with him. We had a book of Joel Chandler Harris’ stories at home and my mother read for me with what I remember as great enthusiasm (although she was probably exhausted). I also had a book and record of...

People
AuthorPeter Spier
We still own the battered beaten-up copy of this homage to humanity that our two daughters returned to so often that it needed patching up with a judicious amount of sticky tape. A wholehearted celebration of diversity, it devotes pages to appearance, homes, food, clothes, pastimes, jobs, pets, feasts...
My Naughty Little Sister
AuthorDorothy Edwards
ISBN1405202890
How did I never read this as a child? I'm trying to catch up on classics I someone missed, and this was on the list.

It's a very nostalgic read, but also timeless - small children will always be mischievous, get into scrapes, do naughty and greedy things, and probably after saying sorry, do something...
