#ReadAway2024 #20in4 #Readathon

Read tonight for November‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024 This was a cute story & quick read with life lessons told through animal characters. It‘s apparently a series with different animals the lead in each book. It was perhaps a bit “folksy” for me but I enjoyed it overall. 🐿️ 🤎

TheBookHippie It is definitely folksy, LOLOLOLOL - but I did enjoy the little lessons, although I read it with grandson so that made it a bit more fun! I like having the knowledge of it. These stories are talked about a ton here and taught at every private school. I was always curious. 3w

Okay, I‘m learning to tolerate squirrels more after reading this cute classic. Even if they do sabotage my bird feeders.😆 I was more fascinated to learn about author Burgess who adored nature & spent his writing life teaching children to appreciate all wildlife. He wrote more than 170 books! Plus he was big on conservatism and helped pass laws to protect migrating wildlife.🙌🏻
Thx @TheBookHippie for another great read!

I‘ve decided to dedicate my reading to focus exclusively on the works of Anthony #Burgess. My main reasoning for this is because of his influence to my life directly, in getting me to become an actual reader, & consequently getting me to expand to other titles/authors.

So I am going back to my roots, to read through the titles I never got to, and with still more in mail, it will definitely be a thing!

In progress:
A Dead Man In Deptford.

Took me back to my childhood. I reread those old Green Meadows stories so many times. When I wanted to share them with my daughters, I could only remember Jerry Muskrat. Couldn't remember the author's name either. I'm so glad I decided to do this challenge with @TheBookHippie Thanks. #ChildrensClassics2020

TheBookHippie These are wonderful I heard there is a book with most of the tales in it!! I am on the hunt ! Such warm fuzzy stories. 4y
