Kareni Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The Story of Ferdinand My favorite quote from it: "His mother saw that he was not lonesome, and because she was an understanding mother, even though she was a cow, she let him just sit there and be happy." That was a favorite here as well. We even have it in Latin! Ferdinandus Taurus (Latin Edition) Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I am assuming novels: Dominic by William Steig {many readings} The Ordinary Princess by M.M. Kaye {might be out of print. I always thought it would make a great Disney movie.} The Hobbit and LOTR by J.R.R. Tolkien {classics!} Just about anything by Roald Dahl {did not like The BFG or Witches or Matilda or The Twits} Three Tales of My Father's Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame The Complete tales of Winniw The Pooh by A.A. Milne Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater Half Magic by Edith Nesbitt {any of her books are excellent} Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites by Chris Heimerdinger {I am not fond of the later series but love Books 1-4.} The Best _________ Ever book series by Barbara Robinson {twaddle? maybe. fun? yep.} The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White {Son 3's favorite book. The first novel he ever read on his own.} Charlotte's Web by E.B. White The Complete Adventures of Homer Price by Robert McCloskey The Harry Potter books by not really as read alouds The Paddington Bear series by Michael Bond Oh, was this supposed to be a short list? I missed that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stayed faithful to the art in the book, and to the story. Wish I could find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
