My mother used to buy us a Little Golden Book from the grocery store every two or three weeks. “The Pokey Little Puppy,” “Saggy Baggy Elephant”, and “Pantaloon” were three of my favorites. I have them still on the shelf, along with Cherry Ames. . .haven’t read “The Happy Hollisters;” I’ll have to get them from the library. I did just discover the “Swallows and Amazons” series—cute adventure series for kids 7-10 or so, written in the 1940s or ’50s. . .
P.S. Not even my mother’s reading could get me through “War and Peace;” the closest I’ve come is the Cliff Notes. . .;)
