I Love Reading!

As a young child I fell in love with reading! I read when I was going to sleep, at the dining table, even in the car! It started with Enid Blyton's such as "Mr. Meddle's Mischief" and then onto bigger books such as "Oliver Twist" and tween series such as "Sweet Valley". This lens showcases some of my favorite books from my childhood! If you're looking to build your child's library collection or just looking to rediscover some of your old favorites, check out my recommendations below!

I weep for the children of today who have never experienced the joys of enid blyton or the endless pleasure of childhood classics such as "Heidi", & "Robin Hood". Sad to say Hannah Montana and 'Bratz' do little more than inspire unacceptable behaviour! Dredge up all those old dusty books that u loved and pass them on like the treasures they are!
