Helloooo! How was everyone's summer? We had a nice summer but I am definitely ready for the girls to go back to school, and they are definitely ready to go back too! Keira will be in grade 4 and Tegan will be in junior kindergarten 3 days a week. Then it will be just Brielle and I at home on those days. Keira and I recently read The Secret Garden. We had a different copy than this one when we read it but when I saw this Tasha Tudor illustrated copy in the used book sale area at the library I snapped it up,for 50 cents. Keira is 8 years old, almost 9, and I still read aloud to her every night. She is an excellent reader all on her own but I am hoping to read to her or have her read to me as long as she'll let me. I love experiencing these special books with her. The Secret Garden was a bit of a tough read-aloud, what with the accents and all, but we enjoyed it. I especially enjoy the theme of Magic in Frances Hodgson Burnett's novels - we recently read A Little Princess too.
OH how I need the Tasha version of this book! As soon as J and I wrap our Little House book (On the Shores of Silver Lake), we're going to start on A Little Princess!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite book ever! And you can't go wrong with Tudor's illustrations! Wishing your little ones a happy return to school! :)
ReplyDeleteThe secret garden is one of my favourite books, and the Tasha Tudor illustrations just make it that little bit more special.
