I still have my parents old copies of these books which they read to me when they were little. It is amazing how they haven't really dated in all this time. Another one I have that I love is a collection of JLB short stories called "The Dawn Shops". This was also my mothers and I think it has been long out of print. My children enjoy these stories too.Empress Nasi Gorenghttp://www.catandv.vox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-33825611482047648742009-03-10T20:33:00.000-07:002009-03-10T20:33:00.000-07:00These were the first chapter books I read to my so...These were the first chapter books I read to my son and then later my daughter. They bring back very warm memories and giggles as I recall the tongue twister "Milly Molly Mandy" which sometimes felt as if it was in every sentence, twice. These are precious books.Kim Allen-Niesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225901212884028672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-80596740781859819772009-03-09T15:11:00.000-07:002009-03-09T15:11:00.000-07:00My daughter and I absolutely loved the Mrs. Piggle...My daughter and I absolutely loved the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle chapter books. They have a similar sensibility as you describe in Milly Molly Mandy: respect for others, no-nonsense, and fun for the imagination. You must try them out, especially when your children are in that rigid, rules need to be fair and equal for everyone, age--about 6-8 years old. Mrs. P-W solves the behavior problems for parents and in such a great way!DianeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032523386252412367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-52882819587920497232009-03-09T14:55:00.000-07:002009-03-09T14:55:00.000-07:00I hadn't heard of MMM.a bit of both.

I think it stays old favorites until the kids pick the books themselves. As long as the parent picks, it'll be the oldies but goodies.<BR/><BR/>I did get my son to read The Great Brain and Bruno and Boots books, my original books, all musty from the basement, but we also read Harry Potter aloud too.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-21106316492095538922009-03-09T11:35:00.000-07:002009-03-09T11:35:00.000-07:00Well, we aren't into chapter books at our house ye...Well, we aren't into chapter books at our house yet. My parents have all of my childhood books in a box at their house and I can't convince them to give them up yet. I'm sure I have a lot of great memories in there.Maw Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729345911368472119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4195556660351263001.post-50569399905389613672009-03-09T09:20:00.000-07:002009-03-09T09:20:00.000-07:00The drawings are so charming.

My work computer will not let me view the graphics that you included for this post. I can see the book graphics but not the banner or button you created for the post.
