The mystery of the old violin | Augusta Huiell Seaman, William Hutchinson (Printer)

Pickpick

Presumably I read this book back when I purchased it for a quarter back in 1997, but I have no memory of it 😂 A Scholastic Book Club reprint of a 1932 story, this one was perfectly fun but not particularly engaging. But I probably would have liked it better when I was the age for which it's aimed. Soft pick.

I picked up this book from the LFL a while ago, forgot about it, found it again during a bookcase cleanout, and read it in the midst of cleaning the bathroom. Cute illustrations, interesting twists on known stories, and several tales of trickery.

This is apparently part of a series, but I‘m skeptical that the author‘s name is really hole in one. 😆

#doublespin done - another fun Famous Five book - so much food in this book 😆 also I know it‘s old but I found it hard to believe that anyone would let 4 children go off in a horse drawn caravan by themselves 🤯 Good fun - trying to teach Gary to #bemoretimmy

TheAromaofBooks I haven't read these, but I just finished rereading one of the Swallows & Amazons books (Coot Club) wherein two sets of parents let their children go off in a sailboat with a random stranger and the two children she had staying with her 😂 She had met the parents ONCE and they are just like “oh sure a multi-day sailing/camping adventure sounds like a great time for everyone“ soooo crazy to me! 4d

This book was super adorable. Two mice are cut out of books and go on a night adventure individually and eventually they meet up to have more fun as friends. Wonderful graphics.

The craft for the summer reading program was decorating a rubber duckie. I think Ernie would have loved it. :)

Such a perfect cute picture book. Our main character is a paperboy and one day the news states that the wishing well is broken. The townspeople are up in arms about it and the boy goes to investigate the well. What happens after that is pure gold. The artwork is adorable and love the story.
