I love your T shirts Eksmama and RLK. My late Grandma years ago had a sweatshirt that said something like, "Too many books, so little time," on it. She definitely helped inspire my love of reading
Another, great thread, PollyannaMom
Wow, I had no idea, I will have to Google, DodgerGirl, that "A Mouse and the Motorcyle," movie was made. I just remember the little boy Ryan and of course Ralph in his car....didn't he also have a car in addition to the motorcyle?
I loved all of the Ramona and Henry Huggins books. I have some saved as Ebooks through the library to reread. Children's books can be of good memory and comfort, too. Often times, they're also more genuine than adult books, too. It's been years but I think Henry and the Clubhouse was a favorite of mine as was Ramona the Pest. Now I want to reread both. I also loved and cheered for Ribsy. I'm not sure that I ever did read Dear Mr. Henshaw.
Would any of you be intetested in reading a Beverly Cleary book together? We could share about the story afterwards? Might be a fun way for us all to enjoy childhood stories while making new Disboard friends and strengthening current friendships on here? PM me if interested and I can either start a thread or group PM.
I do remember having D.EA.R. along with two other versions, B.E.A.R (Be Excited About Reading) and Sustained Silent Reading, which if I remember correctly Ramona impresses Howie's family with telling them that was why she couldn't play with Willa Jean. How I would have loved, PollyannaMom, missing gym to read instead! I'm so glad you got to do that either with gym or music class.
I'm off to see what Beverly Cleary books I do have saved.
As for general daily reading besides my Devotional and the Bible, I mostly read the regular (as opposed to Suspense, Historical, or Amish) Love Inspired line of romances.
Happy
to all!
