britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Such a clever name and cute mascot. The store is less than a year old. I sure hope it‘s around for many, many years to come. 4y

Hooked_on_books The fact that they have the boldness to open during a pandemic is a really good sign! 4y

britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Good point, and I agree! She‘s a former elementary school librarian and this bookshop is her dream. 💚 4y

After this book was an answer on Jeopardy the other night, I decided to give it a re-read as I couldn‘t remember the ins and outs. A quick read that teaches children the lesson of being happy with who you are and not trying to change yourself.

I don't remember reading this as a kid so I thought I'd give it a go. The lesson here is to love what you've got/how you look. My take away as an adult is to not eat weird concoctions suggested by your peers. The artwork is cute but I wanted a little bit more here than what we got. About 🌟🌟🌟.
Since Icefall was aimed at the higher middle grade, this balanced it out appealing to lower middle grade & below. #MiddleGradeMarch @sblbooks @megnews

megnews What I can remember from this book was: why do you want to get rid of your freckles so badly? Why would you drink that concoction? 🤮 This wasn‘t a Judy Blume I loved as a kid. As my daughter once said about her younger brother: “His freckles are one of his greatest assets.” 😂 (edited) 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @megnews That's funny! Actually this kid Andrew WANTS freckles and ends up drinking a concoction from his frenemy Sharon. Which means they clearly married, had 2.5 children, went through a bitter divorce, and now he's trying to win back his adult children's affection while Sharon is a cougar with a pushover new husband. 🤣🤣 5y

megnews I‘ve obviously forgotten! It‘s been so long. 5y

This was never my favorite Judy Blume book, but I still read it about 50 times when I was a kid, so it was fun to revisit it with my kids. I did forget that he uses a blue marker when the freckle juice doesn‘t work. You know, because he couldn‘t find brown. 😂

The fiancé is napping, so I‘ve been able to tear through a decent amount of my #ThrowbackReadathon books this evening. I really enjoyed this reread, and I can definitely say that I still love this book wholeheartedly.
One thing that I didn‘t remember from reading this book as a child, was William‘s reason for wanting freckles in the first place... He wanted so many freckles so they would hide the dirt, and his mom wouldn‘t make him wash. ???

Clwojick Also, who remembers doing this as a child? Plug that nose if you don‘t like the taste. 😂😂 7y

Once again, I love all the illustrations in this one. Maybe I‘m just said that most of my “adult” books don‘t have illustrations in them. 😫 I think all books should come with a picture or two. 😉 #ThrowbackReadathon

Clwojick, monalyisha

monalyisha I concur! Great illustration! 7y

Asthecroweflies I agree. 7y

My most favourite Judy Blume. 😍 I just had to pick this one up while I was at the library. It's an absolute MUST for the #throwbackreadathon

More pics will be coming when I'm off work. I might have taken out another 31 books today. 🙈Some were for the #ThrowbackReadathon and some were for the #LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon . My library card is enabling my addiction. 😆

Ingerella She was my fave when I was young! 7y

Clwojick @callielafleur are you doing the #throwbackreadathon ? Maybe your library will have it 😆 7y

Clwojick @bria I know! I'm so glad I found the original cover art too. 👌 7y

Bria @Clwojick that's what I was thinking! It hit me so fast that it was the same cover. When I first saw it, I thought someone had marked the book up 😂 7y

monalyisha @Clwojick I purposely ordered specific copies with OG cover art. My boss was helping me with delivery & before she realized the book was for me she was like, “Sheesh, you‘d think they could afford to order a newer copy, huh?” 😅 7y

callielafleur @Clwojick i think I might have to! The readathon *is* right after my birthday, so maybe I'll treat myself to some throwback favorites to celebrate 😂 7y

Clwojick @monalyisha I always prefer the originals. 😍 7y

Clwojick @callielafleur TREAT YOURSELF! 7y

VeryLazyDaisy My favourite!!! This book is the origin of my obsession for people with freckles. I even tried it with a brown marker, just like the kid in the book. :) 7y

Clwojick @VeryLazyDaisy SAME! I was always jealous of people who had a lot of birthmarks and freckles. I maayyyy have a mini heart tattoo that was done to look just like a birthmark on my upper rib cage. ☺️ 7y

This RF made me remember how much I love Judy Blume. Andrew wants freckles so badly just like his friend Nicky. When another classmate offers to sell him a recipe for freckles, the laughs begin. Character mapping would be perfect for 1st or 2nd graders with this selection. storyboardthat.com/teacher-guide/freckle-juice-by-judy-blume #UCFWalterslit

I found a list on goodreads that says these were all published the year I was born. I don't know how accurate the list is, but I found these four that I've read on it.

#gypsykatsbirthdayweek @GypsyKat

GypsyKat Wow, good for you! I posted three books from my year and I hadn't read any of them. Haha! Thank you for playing! 😊💗 7y

My 2nd grader has been reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone this summer. At the book store yesterday, I was reminded how many wonderful characters and stories she hasn't met yet! I don't want her to miss out just because her reading level is higher than some of there great titles.
