Magical worlds will always hold on me no matter how old I get, and Impossible Creatures was one I could not pass up. Books like this help us escape the outside world and sometimes find our inner child that feels like it has been lost forever. This book is beautifully illustrated, the characters are unforgettable, and the author has a section at the end that lets you know the magical creatures better.

#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! 4w
LiteraryinPA I read this book for the first time recently. It was strange! 4w

I can‘t decide how I felt about this one. On the surface, it‘s a fun adventure similar to The Boxcar Children. I loved the way the children worked together to take care of themselves and fend off the dreaded DV and other “do-gooders”. The “Rules of the Barn” and refusal to take charity/handouts were admirable and smart. ⬇️

julieclair But if I thought too much about it, I just felt so sad for the children and worried for their safety. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it as a child. 1mo
CarolynM Great review. I thought it was sad too. I‘m not sure I would have liked it any better if I‘d read it in childhood - I think even then I‘d have been concerned about just how hard they all had to work! 1mo
julieclair @CarolynM Thanks! And good point about the amount of work they had to do. It was much more than just “playing house”. 1mo
