When I first read the Swallows and Amazons books in 2019/2020, I knew I would want to reread them over and over. I've been working my way through them slowly and enjoying them every bit as much - or even more - as I did the first time. Winter Holiday is adorable, with plenty of wintry adventures to go around. I personally had an idyllic childhood, but I still think I would trade to be a Swallow or Amazon! 😂

Winter Hayes is 7 as Christopher Robin from Winnie The Pooh ❤️

After Tip runs away from the witch who raised him, he teams up w/ the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, & new friends to save the Emerald City from an army of revolters.

I forgot just how silly this one is! My dislike of General Jinjur & her army & the revolution storyline is mostly outweighed by my love for the Woggle-Bug‘s jokes, the Gump, & the Sawhorse! & I love the reactions to Ozma‘s reveal. & so much new world building!🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this for #BeyondTheYellowBrickRoad - I dunno about you guys but old Mombi here used to FREAK ME OUT when I was a kid, watching Return To Oz. The story in the movie is quite a bit different, but Mombi is an ever present evil throughout the book. I‘m amazed once again at the creativity of Mr. Baum & can only imagine what kids back then thought of these wonderful books. 5⭐️

Warning time! I‘m attempting to work through @LibrarianRyan ‘s #BBRC prompts. The theme this year is celebrity authors, and we‘re starting with at least 16 picture books! I promise, this will be more painful for me than it is for you, but if it‘s what the kids are reading (and it is…) Obvs, I should stop being a library snob and read them. Yay!

Bear 🙂 Mischievous bear cub causes mayhem, making other animals jump, as they prepare to be on TV.

This is a hard book to rate being a product of the New Era. Kay Harper is an orphan with a horrible governess who also practices witchcraft but with two otherwise caring caretakers. Kay idolizes his grandfather who was blamed for stealing or losing a pirate clerical treasure

Talking cats, owls, rats & otters. Or could the things they show him in his treasure-hunting dreams be real or just dreams?

There is animal death but offhand to the plot.

Three children visiting a kooky old aunt at their ancestral Tudor manor discover a snow globe that connects them with the children who used to live at the house in the past.

I‘m LOVING it. 🧡🩵
