This series is very interesting. It is novel to see what kids might of read during the past decades. Especially the early 20th century.

Linda, I came over here from your blog, where I tried to leave a comment. I'm not sure you got it. This is a group of Newbery bboks I haven't read yet, except for Millions of Cats, which I didn't realize was a Newbery .
