#ChildrensClassicRead2020 DECEMBER

Seems to be an appropriate pick to end out 2020. Having chose all these books in 2019 I find it rather serendipitous.

Anyone feel free to join in I read these books with my coffee just a page or two in the mornings throughout the month.

Next years schedule of books

An old classic #ChildrensClassicRead2020

FYI problematic text that will have to be discussed if read with younger folks. As it reads like the time it was written in. It‘d make a great discussion in literature type of talk.

In this 1765 printing of her 1749 original, Sarah Fielding (1710-68) traces the development of nine girls under the guidance of their governess, Mrs Teachum. The first English novel intended for children, the book attempts to encourage young women to pursue lives of virtue, friendship and benevolence.

I ended up really loving this one! There were a couple of slow parts, but it was a lovely story. It didn‘t feel like typical British children‘s lit. There was more emotion and depth to it. I think this book will stay with me for a while. #childrensclassicread2020

Finally, an orphan who is wanted by 2sets of family members with different styles of raising children. Elizabeth Ann goes from being coddled to learning Independence with chores. And guess what? She thrives with chores and decision making. The author was a supporter of the Montessori method and you could see evidence in the book. I really enjoyed watching Betsy become brave and strong.
