Awwww, this was such a sweet book🫶🏼 Inspired by a true story! The friendship between a young girl, a dog, a silverback gorilla and a baby elephant. My choice for #52Books23 #NewberryWinner EXCELLENT audio narration 🎧♥️🥇I‘m definitely reading the next book….#ReturnOfSappyCindy

Gissy Beautiful story❤️ 2y
Cinfhen It REALLY was @Gissy - it‘s wonderful @Librarybelle 2y
KarenUK Your hashtags always make me smile 😊! Middle grade is always a nice change of pace…. 💕 2y
Cinfhen Thanks @KarenUK xxxx 2y
BarbaraBB Another #sappyCin! Good for you 💕 2y
Cinfhen Yup @BarbaraBB as I‘m really just putting off getting back to 2y
BarbaraBB Lol I understand 💯 2y
Megabooks 💜 #sappyCindy! I started Women this morning, but I‘m also finishing this short story collection @BarbaraBB 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Another Wilson! Are his short stories as bizarre as his novels? 2y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! Most of these were written around the time he was in college, and they are so impressive for that age or really any one but they have a youthful perspective. (Plus he and I are roughly the same age and grew up in the same region so I find them nostalgic as well.) now I‘ve read all his books, which is a bit sad because of the wait for a new one! I preferred this to his newer collection. 2y
Cinfhen Wilson definitely has a unique writing style!! I read this collection but it was just too odd for me @BarbaraBB plus I‘m not a fan of short stories- but there‘s no denying his talent @Megabooks 2y
Cinfhen I‘ll be watching for your review of #FlyingWomen @Megabooks 😉I think @BarbaraBB will be curious too😅 2y
BarbaraBB I am and I have a hunch 😂 @Megabooks (edited) 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I still have Panic on my shelves. Looking forward to that one too! 2y
Cinfhen The struggle is real @BarbaraBB 2y
Cinfhen I really liked Panic @BarbaraBB @Megabooks it wasn‘t as 🍌👖as some of his other stories 2y
Megabooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB at 15% I think I‘m going to #allhailthebail on Women. The music therapy has given me an awful headache when I look at screens (squinting my eyes just to write this), and I wasn‘t enjoying it enough for how troublesome it is. Tbqh the whole plot was silly and far-fetched. The blurb sounded good but the execution is waaaayyy sub par. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks You are so right about bailing, the books is ridiculous and silly indeed. Take some rest after the music therapy ❤️ 2y
Cinfhen I was going to email both of you @Megabooks @BarbaraBB but I‘ve gotten hooked on a Netflix series and it‘s CONSUMING me - anyhow Flying is SO BAD!!! I‘m on page 152 and I just can‘t go on!!! I will, but yikes 😳 don‘t feel bad at all, Meg. Hope the MT starts to work it‘s magic 🪄 2y

This is one of my all things me favorite books, ever. Even though it is probably considered a middle grade book, I fell in love with it during college when I was a very lit snobby English major, which speaks volumes about the quality of writing and powerful story telling. It has traveled the world with me as well.

I had never read this classic before. Wonderful tale of adventure and mystery in the metropolitan museum. Especially liked the last third when the mysterious mrs. Frankweiler appears and shares her wisdom. My 5 year old son also thought it was great fun. #kidlit #newberrywinner
