Yeah, and, as I'm thinning my book collection this month, I'm running into
chilhood favorites that do stand the test of time, for example, who
remembers A Wrinkle In Time? Still cool after all these years. That's
going on my daughter's bookshelf rather than to goodwill.
Oh, and, reading to my daughter stuff that I loved as a kid, how did I ever
get through Beatrix Potter's incredibly wide vocabulary as a child?
Definitely not everyday language for kids, but great stuff.
