reading

I love this one of the little polar bear reading, illustrated by Hans de Beer

Ot en Sien,  illustrated by Cornelis Jetses

hopelessly old fashioned, and no longer read in schools, but I still have  the books I collected to learn Dutch when I was living there.

I've not actually read this book, (illustrations by Quentin Blake)  but I love the movie and will watch it every time it's on tv. 
It may surprise some people, but for someone who is terrified of spiders, this was one of my favourite stories.  illustrated by Garth Williams

some children's stories for the first week back to school for Thursday Postcard Hunt

    I read the two last books as an adult, and I have enjoyed them a lot. Oh, and I love that hut. How clever the polar bear is! :)

    To hibernate with books in winter is true wisdom.

    I like the illustrations on the second. Charlotte's Web is a classic, and the movie is a good adaptation.

      Lisa, are we talking about the 1970s version with Debbie Reynolds and Henry Gibson, and Paul Lynde as Templeton??

    The first postcard is so sweet!!! I enjoyed the animated movie of Charlotte's Web by Hanna-Barbera.
