I adore Anastasia Krupnik! Her Love and Hate lists are the perfect window into the constantly changing mind and emotions of a 10 year old girl. Reading the lists as an adult, I found them adorable. Reading them as a 10 year old, I would have found them relatable. I also loved the direct way Anastasia‘s parents talked with her about all kinds of topics, answering her questions honestly and appropriately for her age level.

TheBookHippie Oooo your Pantone is so pretty!!! 2d
julieclair @TheBookHippie Thanks! I‘ve read a lot of books recently that had no matches, so I was very happy to find one that had two! 🎨 2d
LeahBergen How did I miss this one as a kid?? 2d
julieclair @LeahBergen I did, too. Although I have an excuse… it wasn‘t published until I was 2 years past the 10-year-old target. 😂 1d

#ChildrensClassicRead2024 I love that feeling when you‘d completely forgotten the existence of a book, but as you read it you realize you remember every word. Except for the fact that this isn‘t my childhood cover, this was a perfect exercise in nostalgia. I find it charming that I haven‘t changed so much that I still think the notebook she keeps and her parents are the coolest things in this book. @TheBookHippie

TheBookHippie I‘m starting it today, I cannot wait!! 5d
BarbaraJean I loved the Anastasia Krupnik books when I was a kid! I may have to add this to my September reads! Also: I only just now realized this was written by Lois Lowry 🤦🏻‍♀️ She‘s a favorite childhood author, so it makes perfect sense, but I‘m not sure how I missed connecting those dots till just now 😁 5d
IndoorDame @BarbaraJean I know, when I borrowed this copy I looked up all the other things she‘d written and was shocked at how many I‘d read over the years having no idea they were connected, and how fantastic she is! 5d
tpixie I loved her evolving lists in her notebook. Her parents were so wonderful, I agree! 3d

#ReadAway2024 #ForTheLoveofBooks

Read last night for August‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2024 I couldn‘t readily find a copy of this little book first published in 1946, but I was able to find the PDF to read on my phone. I hadn‘t heard of this book before but I enjoyed it. No one should be able to tell bear (or us) who we are. 🐻💛

TheSpineView Well done! 7d
LiteraryinLawrence I read this book for the first time recently. It was strange! 7d

September #ChildrensClassicRead2024 Banned Book Month

A much banned book seemed appropriate. I have never read this book before either. According to Banned Library, it‘s been banned because of “a vulgarity for human waste, as well as the use of a slang term for sex.”

ALL WELCOME!!!

GingerAntics Wow, really? What jerks. 2w
Read4life I‘m looking forward to rereading this one. 2w

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics never ceases to amaze me. 2w
TheBookHippie @Read4life I‘m excited! 2w
IndoorDame I love those books you haven‘t thought about in 20 years! This is going to be so much fun to revisit! 2w
Soscha Okay, but what‘s their banned term for sex? Amorous congress, yentzing, cutting the parsley, bam bam in the ham, sending out for sushi, tossing a hot dog down the hallway, fishing for trout in a peculiar river, bringing an al dente noodle to the spagetti factory, bedroom rodeo, matromonial polka, bumping uglies, Chesterfield rugby, dancing the goat jig, putting Harry‘s wand in the chamber of secrets, taking ole one-eye to the optometrist? 2w
curiouserandcurioser @TheBookHippie looking forward to this!! 2w

#ChildrensClassicRead2024 @TheBookHippie

Well, that was just delightful!! Nobody gets to tell you who you are. You get to decide that for yourself. And again, I miss having my own classroom because this would‘ve led to some great discussions. Thanks Christine, great choice.

TheBookHippie ♥️♥️🐻♥️♥️ I loved it too! I agree such a good classroom book! 1mo
