Welcome to Litsy!

Why can't a mom go back to when her own children were six and want to cuddle with you and share a child's book of poetry? 😭😭 I WANT A GRANDBABY!!!!!! Like Pooh, I was expecting this book to be different, but loved every stanza. #ChildrensClassicsChallenge @TheBookHippie

I don't want it to be finished. It made me miss my Nanny who taught me to appreciate old fashioned stories and LM Alcott. Her stories are quaint, but the characters do have faults. Polly could be eaten up with envy, but acknowledged it and worked on being better. Fannie and Maude could be bratty, but wanted to be a worthy friend. #ChildrensClassicsChallenge @TheBookHippie

Forsooth!!! I enjoyed listening to this medieval poetry of courtesy and bravery!!! #ChildrensClassicsChallenge @TheBookHippie

I have to have this copy in my library.

What right have they to torment and disfigure God's creatures?

I remember a neighbor would dock her kittens' tails and how it bothered me. I did get my Zoe from her, but I told her to leave the tail alone.

It's been 30 so years. I could have even used Black Beauty when I would fuss at her.

These stories (sigh of happiness) are still as beloved as they were when I was young. I tried to be mindful of racism or entitlement, but just saw origin stories of how wonderful creatures became the way you see them today. I did notice that these animals were from all around the world where Great Britain had a strong hold through colonialism. I googled and learned that these stories came at the request of his daughter. "Make them just so."
