Yes, the part involving a gun was disturbing, but for the most part the colorful, delightful illustrations told a story of friendship, understanding, and love. I enjoyed this foray into Babar‘s world. In fact, I have a second volume to share! Thank you once again @TheBookHippie for this challenge! #childrensclassicread2023 #192025 #1933

Once I started ignoring the sexism, racism and effusive descriptions of Doc's perfect qualities, then I was able to enjoy this first story in the Doc Savage series as a fun adventure story. It is very much a product of its times, and people tell me that the series gets better.

I'm at 8.5 hours so far for the #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65

I don‘t think I ever got around to posting a review for the first Pat book, so I‘ll review both now.

When we first meet Pat she‘s 6 yrs old and when the story ends she in her late 20s. She doesn‘t like change, love her family and friends and Christmas.

So there‘s not much happening in these books, but I loved them and Pat, Jingle and Judy.

Description of beginnings of Dust Bowl(continues on next page) wonderful passage to include in our unit on TKAM when we go over historical, social influences. 💨#Americanhistory #DustBowl #boysintheboat #1933 #bookclub

ValerieAndBooks I‘ve been wanting to read this — stacking so I don‘t forget! How much Dust Bowl references? Curious because my maternal grandparents lost their farm (in Oklahoma ) to it and then migrated to California. 7y
kspenmoll Just this one reference so far- did your grandparents talk about their experience at all? @ValerieAndBooks (edited) 7y
ValerieAndBooks Not too much in front of the grandkids. The stories I‘ve heard have been mainly through my mom. My mom (their youngest of 6) was born in one of the migrant worker camps. 7y

kspenmoll @ValerieAndBooks Beautiful descriptive writer, very detailed. Author integrates historical & social background seamlessly. Let me know What you think! I read slowly so only up to about page 80 or so. 7y
ValerieAndBooks I‘m already sucked right into this!! And rooting for Joe and Joyce 💖 7y

Jumping into this right now. So far, I'm mortified by the Roosevelt administration's lack of action. #berlin #oppression #1933 #hitlerwasapunkass
